On: Fortran is still a thing (2017)

[_ofdw]

"Software engineers", in my experience, mostly aren't. Having a computer science degree doesn't make you an engineer, nor is stitching javascript libraries together to make a web app engineering.

There are software engineers out there, doing engineering work, but most of the people who call themselves software engineers are not.

Unfortunately, in the context that Fortran is likely to be used, this seems to be true specifically for Research Software Engineers.
