There is no such thing as a Software Engineer.

Its just as much as an ego trip...as the Principal Engineers that roam around here, after they survived three layoffs and outputted front end code for six years straight at a FAANG...

Prove me wrong...

But oh well, who was she, just the engineer who wrote the software for the Apollo 11. Probably she had no idea what she was talking about.
