Really? As a non-software engineer, the title and bridge picture suggested this would be relevant to me, much more so than an article about programmer interviews.

Except if you're somewhere where it does matter. Take Canada for instance, you cannot call yourself an engineer without being a licensed Professional Engineer.

I strongly disagree; it seems rather perverse to label many developers and programmers as engineers, because most of what occurs in development and programming, especially because of the lack of rigor involved, could scarcely be passed off under the heading of traditional engineering, and should not be confused as such.
