engineering

Engineering is the practice of mucking up once useful objects. Practitioners excel at telling skilled workers how to do things the engineers themselves have never done, nor are capable of learning. Engineers can expect to be paid menial wages while languishing in a cubicle and annoying productive people with endless demands for more submittals. Your life as an engineer will be designing stupid shit that laymen will fix in the field, and reviewing thousands of pages of eyewash to ensure that all systems are too comp-licated for the end users. Fortunately you will have months to incorrectly design systems that the talented technicians must build and install in weeks. They will make it work behind your back so you don't fly in on a site visit and fix things. You will be replaced in your prime by an intern and no one will notice or care that you are gone.

Engineering guy says let me explain how your car works while a skilled person fixes it.

software engineering

1. An engineering discipline that is increasingly turning into a commodity much like cattle farming in the agriculture industry.

2. Disposable code factories, not cost effective to reuse or refurbish.

If those software engineers don't get the project done by the deadline, we will replace them with ones from India.

software engineering

A widely used noun that is a oxymoron. Software cannot be engineered.

I rigorously derived a mathematically provable peice of psuedo-code. (Yeah, right...)

social engineering

The art of hacking people rather than computers. Most of the time it's easier than hacking computers because people are so stupid that you can just ask them for passwords and credit card information and they'll give it to you!

Me: Hello, Mr. Adamson? Yes, I need your credit card number, email address and password.

Mr. A: Ok, the number is 4318-6413...

engineering syndrome

A condition in which engineering, math, science, or other STEM majors have extreme difficulty talking to the opposite sex. Often these people are hold up in their "comfy zone", library, home, or some other quiet location studying. Because of this, people who suffer from Engineering Syndrome are single and lonely because their grades in college cannot afford to be stunted by parties or socializing.

I got on Tinder, but my Engineering Syndrome kicked in and I never messaged him/her.
