Why is it that software engineers seem to get so little respect?
This does not apply to everyone but I have experienced this.

    Is this about titles?

    @Demolishun not titles. It is all about fair play and back biting and office politics.

    @molaram , non technical managers think that writing code is easy as a piece of cake.

    @AngryDev9981 Ah, gotcha, I have been lucky to not experience that bias. I feel for you.

    "most people", which is your average mom and pop, have no real comprehension what a software engineer does in the first place, not like doctors, electricians, authors, musicians and have have ye.

    It needs to have a kind of place in society without having to piggyback on being an engineer (I am certainly not an engineer) or going the consultant way, even though you may not be a consultant.
