We're 21st century plumbers.

>We're 21st century plumbers.

I tell people this all the time when they ask what I do. I've met quite a few master plumbers, and they are extremely intelligent technical geniuses for the most part. I'm completely convinced that I would have been one of them (or some other trade craft) if I were born 50 years ago.

Modest too, most of ‘em.

- IT: Sanitation engineers

- Developers: Hazmat engineers

- CS: Civil engineers

IT: Garbage truck operators

Developers: Garbage truck service/maintenance department

Devops: Mechanic's apprentice who sometimes has to fill in for garbage truck drivers who no-show.

Contractor: Mobile service tech gets called in to weld up stuff when it's broken beyond what the in-house team can handle.

CS: Guys who plan the garbage trucks' route.

Not everything is "engineering".

Edit: You people take yourselves too seriously.

- IT: Deployment

- Dev: Implementation

- CS: Design

Sounds accurate to me, but I'm interested if people will downvote you because they don't like the IT line.

Looks like it gets worse down the list, so I don't think the IT folk will complain too much.

edit: Yes, whether you feel "Civil engineering" is worse than "Hazmat engineering" is a subjective matter.
