As a mechanical engineer: if a software engineer completed school, they're an engineer, deal with it. We're not talking about someone that doesn't know what they're doing cobbing things together for 1-off demos like Michael Reeves

Random insult to a guy that does entertainment quite well. Am I reading too much into it or are you randomly extra pissed?

From the videos I've seen, he just does trial and error - no math or understanding involved. That's not engineering - that's called design. Didn't stop him from bashing engineers in one of his videos saying that school was pointless. After that, I stopped watching his videos. Thankfully I only wasted time on 2-3 of them, including the swearing roomba.

Meanwhile I highly doubt he knows (or knew) anything about fatigue, trusses, or kinematics, things you have to have an understanding of in mechanical engineering. Maybe he learned after the fact, but I don't really care.

You are not the target. And the says a lot of random shit just to flame imo.

I enjoy his videos because they are funny, not to learn any engineering skill

So you admit he's an asshole. Why should anyone waste their time on his videos then?
