    I have a friend with three kids. They had at one point 3 rabbits, 2 dogs and a cat. They don’t live on a farm, but they do have a large property (countryside).

    When I was in college I had a classmate who was living with 5 roommates in a large house and had 8 cats amongst them. No idea if it was legal then or if the landlord even knew.









  • That’s missing the point. Engineers perform at a specific level. You don’t expect civil engineers to build the bridge. Can they do it? Sure. But that’s not the profession. Same with Structural Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Industrial Engineers, etc. They are at a higher level in the planification and execution process and will likely have signatory responsibilities on the project. If the bridge falls, the engineer does have explaining to do.

    The equivalent for a software engineer would be (in the US) more at the level of architect with responsibilities higher than developers.

    But engineers is not a protected term so everyone is an engineer now.
