“Ooh that’s really cool” is not what I’d expect to hear after saying I’m a software engineer
tbh if I hear someone is into tech I’m interested
like yay someone with interests!
and others who aren’t interested in tech are interested anyway because what we do sounds like some sort of witchcraft to them loll
Someone is into OP or whoever is in gold, at least for now. Even if you don’t find it cool, flatter to keep conversation and interest. It could be genuine as in finding interest in anything your crush is into interesting, or be just practical.
Also, people are attractive/interesting when they speak about stuff they’re passionate about. Lots of people will listen to you blab on about something they know nothing about or care nothing about if you interest them in your delivery.
how so? my experience is that people tend to be impressed and intrigued and they hear I’m a software engineer
“software engineer” is such a stupid, shallow and arrogant description. I’m not an engineer and neither are you.
I’m a software developer, developer for short. All these fake “engineers” and “scientists” tend to be arrogant stuck up pricks.
Dude, you’re a code monkey. You’re not creating autocad graphs for Airbus, so get off your high horse.
tf you talking about? the engineer engineers the solution and the developer develops it
It’s the literal job description in many cases.
She matched with you because she wants to fuck. Ask her out bruh.

Ummm… excuse me. I think you mean “software engineering isn’t cool.” Which is also completely false. It is cool. It just makes for a shitty topic of conversation when the other person has no idea what you’re talking about.
But what do I know? I’m a scotch swilling, cigar smoking, reasonably competent DIYer, Dad who would rather go outside or do anything that doesn’t involve a computer in my spare time.
Oh, And my wife says she thinks I’m cool so I have that going for me.
That’s called “working on a team larger than 1”
?? Not in 30 years have I run into such a thing.
It’s been a week and my CEO still hasn’t responded my email asking for scope clarification for a project he asked me to do…
Nothing ever gets done in the second half of December.
More like between thanksgiving and the near year.
I find we’re most productive in far years.
You guys are reminding me of all the planning crap and responding I didn’t get done before the holiday break and really need to do.
