He has stated that the bulk of his income nowadays is from the plans he sells on his website. He has several videos covering how much he makes from youtube. Also, if he was still a software engineer today then he would easily be making $300k+ per year as a staff engineer or some similar position.

Matthias Wandel is fundamental to my development. I've been subbed to him since he started out on YouTube 15 years ago, when I was ~14 years old. I should thank him one of these days lol
--- 2590409
I've met Matthias a couple times.

He's an absolute standup lad. The quality of his tools, the fit and finish are incredible.... but, even more impressive is that this dude is using scrap wood, no name tools, and nothing ultra specialized.

He is among the smartest people I've ever met. And yes, his wife is an absolute fox.

You sperging out about how much you hate software developers doesn't make the fact that many earn $300k+ untrue. $300k is the low-mid end of what a senior 10x dev can make, at the right company with a good comp package he could be making much more.
--- 2590693
>>2590688
My friend, you misunderstand, I'm not the anon who said they don't make 300K. 
I'm just the guy that despises software engineers, and I think that selling your soul, time, life, and energy for what turns out to be like $20 an hour, working 100 hours a week (mentally, physically, and literally) is stupid.
Guess what, 10x engineer is just 10x wagie.

I'd rather own a business for 30K than be a megawagie for 300K.
Because all I'll ever be is a wagie if I take that route.
Every software engineer I've ever met was cripplingly autistic, waging schedules ru9
ined any chance of them ever having a family, they work in an echo-chamber of other spergs, and computers are a fucking tragedy.
In fact, I know quite a few software cucks who make 300K, you are right that they do.
But having known them, I can safely say I would never want to be one.
Not a trades wagie either.

Nah he's the literal opposite of autist, just a stuck up nerd.

autism the inability to separate one's self from their work, mattias is a poly-technic versed in mechatronics, yet he is also very sociable and regularly communicates with strangers across a wide variety of topics

People who are actually autisitic have no self awareness, unlike mattias, he is a man entirely in control of his outward self, as well as his internal self. He chooses to be technical and methodical, something that chris chan or anyone that has never made content in their would ever be able to comprehend. 

The DSM still fails a lot of people who fall under these categories; its really easy for people to not analyze the social aspects of autism. He really just seems like a canadian and not much more than that.

>Nowhere in the definition of engineer does it specify a requirement for a physical structure.

Oh okay. You're an "engineer" because the descriptive word was used. Just like a "locomotive engineer" is an engineer. Do you also come with your own folk song to boost morale and keep the rhythm with your tranny coworkers?

Yeah, like sanitary engineer is a hilarious euphemism for garbage man.
Thats part of what makes the engineering profession a joke.
They’re just a club to with a side goal of extortion.
A programmer does actual work. I’ve never seen a software engineer do much more than refactor working stuff into non-working and unmaintainable garbage.
Engineers, in practice, just take things that scientists figured out, look them up in a table, and pontificate. Common example is material strengths.
Not really needed, thats why the have engineering clubs, societies, and whine a lot.

You know its only Anglos who use the word engineer for anything other than technical oriented university educated people. In The German speaking world, the word is only used for your classic civil, mechanical and electrical engineers.

We just call someone who writes code a programmer.

The french dont call it ingénieure du ordinateur either.
--- 2591883
>>2591859
> static linguistic == dynamic computing language
Yeah, same thing, with the exception of self-modifying code.
I did not define engineer. I’m just trying to make the world a better place by dispelling the myth that engineering is really a thing that isn’t a drain on society. Especially related to software. The simple reason it exists is the club organizers woke up 2 decades later and said “hey, we’re leaving money on the table—this ‘software’ fad doesn’t seem to be going away maybe we need to get our sticky fingers into this pie” and thus the profession was born.

>we're talking about what an engineer is, stop bringing up the definition!
As I tried to show you in examples in previous posts, bringing up the definition and solely relying on an authoritarian groupthink consensus on what specific words are defined as is not to the benefit of investigating the subject being defined. The only purpose it serves is to get retards like you to repeat the consensus agreed upon like a broken record. It's also what causes people to equate software engineers to vinyl chloride delivery boys. Words are words, coherency of them is what matters. And no that's not "engineering" like you falsely equate with the coherency of typing words so a computer can understand them. 

It's like comparing an ESL to a native English speaker and calling the native a "language engineer of English". Or making a shitpost on this site and calling yourself a "social engineer" when someone takes your seriously.

If you maintain or build engines you're not working as an engineer, that's just wrong. You may be a mechanic or technician, something of that sort. 

>>2591851
>> so jk rawling is a literary engineer?
You could abstract it that far but you could argue her work lacks some sort of ingenuity to be engineering work. 

>>2591880
We also have "Softwareingenieure" now. But it's analogous to mechanical engineering. Software engineers mostly don't touch code like mechanical engineers don't touch a milling machine or a wrench while programmers do and mechanics or machinists do. Also in both cases engineers without knowledge of the real work to be done will be shit at their job. That's why they need to know more and get paid more (I know it often doesn't work that way. Complain to your boss). 

German has the advantage tho that we stole our word Ingenieur from the French so nobody would conlude it comes from engine in the sense of motor or locomotive engine but from engin/ingenium/ingeniare so being clever and inventing useful ingenious devices. 

>>2592136
You guys call someone who drives a train engineer...

I'd call someone who builds a device capable of using language based on scientific knowledge and preexisting components an engineer. If i produce some fem calculations and technical drawings there's no physical product of any sort but just a set of instructions. That is what engineering mostly comes down to. I understand why people have problems with the word software engineer but it's a pretty defined scope of work differentiated from programming. Having done electrical, mechanical and software engineering and also machining and programming work: It's the same shit in a different color. It's not to sound cool.
--- 2592478
>>2592471
>im right, the dictionary is wrong
--- 2592484
>>2592478
That's not a dictionary but an automated google overview from pages which may be very wrong. It also directly translates engineer to technician, mechanic, machinist and locomotive driver so clearly it's wrong... Maybe even service engineer or sanitary engineer or hair style engineer or other non engineer bullshit examples. 

Just because the title engineer might be unprotected in the US doesn't mean masturbating in your moms basement makes you an underground structure irrigation engineer and defiling your moms property into engineering work. 

Pic rel. is a good definition of what an engineer is (apart from US bullshit marketing) especially the non routine character and exercise of original thought part. If you are changing some wear plates every day or setting some bearing preload by the book you're not an engineer but a technician/mechanic. Well you may be an engineer but you're not working as one.

Again, no. A writer is more analogous to your example of someone using materials and building something.

Software engineers do have to design, contruct, and maintain their software.
