No to which part? If they are other engineering jobs with craftsmanship, I am curious about it.

Ever since CAD software was invented the role of mechanical/electrical engineer and drafter has largely been merged into one.

I would rather compare my point to the mechanical engineer who designs the mechanical system and the factory worker who actually builds the system with their hands.

Coding is not craftsmanship

Why not? Are you not creating the product with your own hands?

[-] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Yes, it is work. It is a skill. Craftsmanship is taking it a step too far.

Doesn't it take some years of study and then some years of practice with seniors to master it, just like a craft, except it is words instead of physical matter?

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
