I don’t know of a single engineer who has never built a trebuchet.

I’m not even a “proper” engineer and I have like, five desktop trebs, 2 ballistae and some other odds and ends (3d printed, of course,)

It’s like, a right of passage or something.

I’m a software engineer and I built a trebuchet during lockdown to launch Easter eggs at the neighbours’ gardens since we weren’t allowed to go see them.

The plastic candy-filled kind…. I hope.

Or. I hope they weren’t very good neighbors….

I’m a software engineer, but now I feel like I need to build a trebuchet.

I have a scar over my eye from a trebuchet I built in high school, then I went to college for engineering, so that checks out

Probably better than the scar my cousin has on his thigh from an ad hoc fulcrum catapult.

I’m a machinist, which is kind of engineer adjacent. We make cannons.
