How you differentiate tech enthusiast from tech engeneer?
Enthusiast:
Has all the newest and "coolest" tech gadgets
Engeneer:
Has 10 year old printer and gun next to it to shot it if it starts to produce strange sounds -
@DubbaThony
Or in the middle: has some new technologies that aren't just a gimmick, and a lot of older stuff that there's no need to update

How to spot the difference between a tech enthusiast and an actual Programmer/Engineer in 2019?
Tech Enthusiast: I'm really excited about the New X, it's going to be the fastest machine in the market. It's got gimmick feature A, gimmick feature B, actual feature A ......
Programmer/Engineer: So I bought this 8-year-old Thinkpad from eBay yesterday, wifi isn't working but I could just buy an off-market wifi card and fix it. Might also replace the old HDD with a new SSD. Would probably start using it as my daily driver once it's fixed.
