    So. Many. DIYer/maker/woodworker/machinist/car mechanic/etc. Youtubers are former engineers, especially software engineers.

      Agreed.

      I might also argue that those people are all still engineers.

      Engineer just means “problem solver”. Everyone gets paid for solving problems.

      The real question in my head is how far does this go?

      Sometimes the problem is that these burgers need flipping. Protein disk translocation engineers? I’m cool with that.
