Given context, 'software engineering', I would assume. Strange way to write it though...

At first, I assumed it was some programming language I had never heard of ;-)

To me a "swegr" sounds like it would mean "an outdoor event on a really hot day where you have to dress in formal attire."

Cause you'd sweat a lot.

It probably stands for software engineering, though.

In Glasgow, here in Scotland, a "Swedger" is boiled sweet or candy.

As in "gonnae gee-us wan o'yer swedgers, wee man".

//Cause you'd sweat a lot.

And you'd swear a lot.

Me too. I'd never seen "swegr" before.

SoftWare EnGineeRing.

Ah. Around here we've always always called that poing.

For "PrOgrammING"

I'd hate to see this guy's variable naming convention :O

Using random characters you're lucky you didn't use the first, third, fifth and tenth character as a "descriptive" term. ;)

And a bit on topic even though it's not a blog. How about "The Bug of the Month" of the makers of lint? http://www.gimpel.com/html/bugs.htm A bit obscure but definately broadens the pool of error behavior concepts.

Yeah, it's software engineering given the context but it also could how the kids write swagger these days ;)
