Most "Software Engineers" AREN'T ACTUALLY ENGINEERS ... it's illegal in many states to use that title if you're not licensed with the state's Professional Engineering Board. If you haven't taken professional engineering exams, and passed, you're not an Engineer. STOP IT!
I agree that many software developers are not software engineers.

And if a person
1. lives in a jurisdiction where the restrictions on the "engineer" label don't apply
2. has a job and the job title in their contract is "software engineer"
what should they do according to you - not use their actual job title out of reverence for the professional standards of people with a different profession in a different country?
My programming font. It’s proportional and uppercase letters have a 1/3 of a space of left padding. Proportional because they are faster to read in general, and the padding makes reading camel-case faster as well. https://github.com/ericfortis/verdanacamel
Yeah. You're a unicorn. That font hurt my eyes and twitched something in my brain. I often experience something painful in my brain and eyes whenever I switch fonts and theme.
We shouldn't only reject bots, we should feed them incorrect information on purpose in order to degrade the systems they are feeding.

Rust doesn't belong in the Linux kernel. eBPF turned Linux into a microkernel. systemd is terrible and bloated. IPv6 addresses are convoluted. Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem proves we'll never have Artificial General Intelligence.
And yet the brain exists, is it magical? Or is it that Gödel's theorem has nothing to do with intelligence, which is mostly a big pile of heuristics anyway?

While that sounds fun, I think this misses that egress (typically) isn't free. Returning 403 and no content is cheaper. If a crawler is generating a lot of traffic dynamically generating content will make that crawl even more expensive for the operator.
