Yes, but I have a longstanding discomfort with CS being assumed to be equivalent to engineering. (esp out here)

I'm not sure I understand. CS is taken to be equivalent in what sense?

When people out here say “I’m hiring an engineer” they mean a CS person.

Seeing CS contrasted against astronomy, math, etc seemed to stand alone as the E in STEM.

This bar graph also does a better job of displaying how CS has been doing over time..pic.twitter.com/eFqPSfFuVS

Oh I don’t discount the trend issue. But also, the “snapshot of today” is basically equivalent for E and CS, so… why ignore rest of E?

Bc twitter is too short? He said "almost alone" I accept it as shorthand

And yea, the Bay Area engineering world is fairly homogeneous in what type of engineer is meant by the word "engineer" I'm unbothered

If I worked in power engineering I wouldn't expect to say "I want to hire an electrical engineer" always; the implicit "engineer" seems ok..

That doesn't mean I don't realize mechanical engineers exist, but if you and nobody you know hire or work with any..
