      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.

      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?

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

      Technically an engineer is a train operator but I always seem to forget my stripey overall-wearing professional kin

      I mean there’s the whole other world of PEs hating on anyone who didn’t take the exam. I get it. Still don’t like it.

          to some extent. I mean, surely ties into my perceptions of how hardware tech is treated here vs SaaS etc.
