sigh even jokes communicate stuff; they’re especially powerful in normalizing things.
I’m aware people hate it when someone criticizes jokes. However when bad stuff gets normalized it’s necessary to point that out.

No, the joke wouldn’t have been as funny if it said “scammer” instead of “smart engineer”. Plus, I think it’s more a jab at engineers rather than anything. Because most would rather argue/explain the whole 10 vs 11 thing than just go "ok, sure, I can do that " and get paid.
