I don't think pandering to the ideas that basically amount to "a 6 week bootcamp makes you a Software Engineer" is honest or useful. It is sycophancy and disingenuous. If someone doesn't even know where to start looking for replacing a binary in a package; they have no grounds to call themselves a "Software Engineer".

Consider how would you respond if someone made a remark like this:

> Honestly, I'm always blown away by accounts [of] "so I just welded the pipes" dropped casually like this. I'm a plumber and have been for over five years, but wouldn't even know where to _begin_ with something like that.
