Software Engineers never die. They just go offline.
February 2, 2010
I just read this line today and loved it! And I totally agree. Even though I have switched my profile, the software engineer in me is still alive and does kick sometimes 
The four years in which we engineers acquire the degree (that’s what we do, that’s it), are so unbelievably powerful and memorable, that those years remain with us all our lives. Maybe, as it is frequently said, we hardly are taught anything in colleges which will be applicable in the industry, we still are very different from the rest!
It goes without saying that four years in an engineering college is probably the best time of anyone’s life. The best experience ever.
Cheers to us software engineers!

writing code for money is no more fun in IT industry.
I can not ,not agree with you.
I am an engineer by practice.(they die)
Mr Chowla,
I need your help in understanding the “I can not, not agree with you.”
Best regards,

I also don’t agree with it. , They Die ……
Good one. Hahaha
We, the Software Engineers, are preprogrammed by social programming to do some post programming
Hehehe. Good one, and so true!
Totally agree with: “we hardly are taught anything in colleges which will be applicable in the industry.”
Sigh. We know it, dont we.
Software Engineers never die. They just go offline…
& while being offline, think about the mistake they made by doing Software Engineering.
Realize its too late.
Come online again. Crib.
And decide to change the sector…
They crib again….go offline.
And then the power (alongwith, the backup) goes down.
Finished. period.
Haha. Touche!
Hey quote’s Wonderful..
The engineer in me smiled reading the quote…though I’ve never worked in a pure technical field so far…I still get to relate to the pun hidden in it…just musing…when engineers become business analysts or projects managers or marketing guyz…are they upgrading their OS version or just simple patch upgrade…any thought?
a big hehe! from a complete non-techo
it is a true hehe
( techie turned finance guy 
)
hahaa.. this is a good one.. line 125010 i believe! im not a software engineer.. but i still get the joke!
Like that cartoon
Coding may be software engineer’s life, but their life is not coded.
