    They should all read Henry Petroski’s To Engineer Is Human before they call themselves engineers

        I’m afraid you can’t call yourself an engineer

          I (legally) can! Got the degree and everything.

          (“civilingenjör” is a protected term in Sweden, only graduates from technical universities can call themselves that)

            I didn’t know that! I was joking of course. I wonder if Alan Kay knows this, though. Have you seen this talk?
