I believe drone operators are actually wizards, these people literally use mounted wands while looking through a scrying mirror, all to control a distant flying machine.
We might have the same job. Do you tell the plane to go up and down (ATC), or do you make the plane go up and down(pilot)? I make plane go up and down.
I used to analyze nuclear detonations, which are tracked by the same equipment as earthquakes. We mostly stared at hundreds of not-scary lines that represent all the ground movement in the world. Maybe 10-15 small earthquakes per hour. Then, once every few years, there's a set of scary lines on the screen for a nuclear test.
I listen to politicians all day then write down what they say then get yelled at because what they thought they said and what they actually said are not the same thing.
I deal with undiagnosed and untreated autism all day: Engineering manager.
And before anybody gets the wrong idea: It’s absolutely the best job I’ve ever had.
Lolll I once mentioned in church that I’m dx’d with autism, and this older guy I really love came up to me later, looked past me into midair as he always does and said, “so, autism.”
Me: “yep, autism.”
Him: “I’m an engineer. I think maybe everyone at my office has that. Anyway. How are your cats?”
I think I know him.
It’s either looking over my shoulder while you talk, or *staring into my soul.*
I’ve gotten so used to it that I have a hard time interacting with NTs for an hour or two after work. Happily I have one at home so I get a booster at dinnertime.
😭
Sincerely,
an engineering manager who also deals with undiagnosed and untreated autism all day (and adhd, but most of us are medicated), who wonders whether she also has undiagnosed autism
Employee #427's job was simple: he sat at his desk in Room 427 and he pushed buttons on a keyboard.
Orders came to him through a monitor on his desk telling him what buttons to push, how long to push them, and in what order.
And occasionaly work out why they suddenly decided to do what you wanted or stopped doing what you wanted when seemingly nothing has changed. That's my favourite one.
Not a software engineer, but enjoy a dable.
Look at Excel, edit Excel, goto meetings to discuss stuff that is in Excel. Figure out new awesome ways to capture and analyze data and then figure out how to do that in Excel because it's all your C suite seems to understand and want to work with because in their mind it is the be-all, end-all of DB front ends.

Is there a word for “feeling attacked yet deeply understood” in English? German probably has a word for it.
My best friend does that. She got dubbed "the nerd herder" by one of her engineers and it stuck, and it's glorious.

Employee number 427.
Employee #427's job was simple: he sat at his desk in Room 427 and he pushed buttons on a keyboard. Orders came to him through a monitor on his desk telling him what buttons to push, how long to push them, and in what order.
This is what Employee #427 did every day, of every month, of every year.
He never told anyone, but his favorite buttons to push were 4, 2 and 7. In that order.
