"Software Engineer"

I removed this particular job title/occupation as there was no source for this. It seems that via Twitter, in this tweet, Wu herself directed people to undo this edit, alleging that I am some sort of GamerGater, hellbent on undoing her entire career as a software engineer. I do not believe that Twitter can be considered a reliable source. Also, merely from the definition of software engineer, I see no evidence of the educational qualifications required to claim that distinction, regardless of how much programming she did on Revolution 60. --SVTCobra (talk) 19:39, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The profile of her at The Guardian describes her as "...head of development at Giant Spacekat, a software engineer ..." This interview at First Person Scholar identifies her as a software engineer. So there are secondary sources. You admit that she was a programmer for her game studio, but that she isn't worthy of the term "software engineer" because of her educational background isn't relevant; the definition of software engineer on WP doesn't say anything about any educational requirements and even says that the definition overlaps that of programmers. eaolson (talk) 20:10, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
