Being a backend developer** without being a software engineer.. 🤝
Using the word engineer means you know how to apply engineering principles…

In that case it feels more like only developers with computer science degrees should be called software engineers

It's not me that you will confuse🥲
We are all software engineers. We learn a tool, we build solutions with it...

Absolutely! Backend/Frontend developers master tools, but a Software Engineer applies engineering principles universally. It's about problem-solving, scalability, efficiency—tool agnostic. Versatility is the mark of true software engineering
