      Someone is into OP or whoever is in gold, at least for now. Even if you don’t find it cool, flatter to keep conversation and interest. It could be genuine as in finding interest in anything your crush is into interesting, or be just practical.

      Also, people are attractive/interesting when they speak about stuff they’re passionate about. Lots of people will listen to you blab on about something they know nothing about or care nothing about if you interest them in your delivery.

        “software engineer” is such a stupid, shallow and arrogant description. I’m not an engineer and neither are you.

        I’m a software developer, developer for short. All these fake “engineers” and “scientists” tend to be arrogant stuck up pricks.

        Dude, you’re a code monkey. You’re not creating autocad graphs for Airbus, so get off your high horse.

        Ummm… excuse me. I think you mean “software engineering isn’t cool.” Which is also completely false. It is cool. It just makes for a shitty topic of conversation when the other person has no idea what you’re talking about.

        But what do I know? I’m a scotch swilling, cigar smoking, reasonably competent DIYer, Dad who would rather go outside or do anything that doesn’t involve a computer in my spare time.

        Oh, And my wife says she thinks I’m cool so I have that going for me.
