Now that you're responsible for all of the good ideas in your organization and demonstrated your operational saviness by predicting problems with people's plans, use your newfound clout to bully another team's manager into becoming a secondary administrator for the permissions of the repo of the lovely code. After enough time has passed to muddy the waters, remove yourself as administrator and ghost the new owner of the repo.

An undergraduate program in any discipline is primarily designed to identify the students who can continue on to do graduate work in that discipline and to prepare them for that work. Any value that it has for any other career path is a secondary concern at best.

I think less than half the people in the construction field who call themselves engineers have degrees in engineering. But it kind of makes sense when you consider titles like "Project Engineer". Most of the structural engineers I would presume are actual engineers.

Also, in many states and provinces if you call yourself an engineer in any capacity without being a member of the engineering society they will sue you. Even if you don't claim to be an engineer but offer design or advice on an engineering topic they can sue you. That's why we go by the title of designers.

The befuddlement is not about capabilities, but comes from a legal standpoint. Sane countries have "Engineer" locked down as a protected profession, similar to Medical Doctors and Lawyers. In practice, it only has an impact on plan-signing and insurance, making the market demand for actual Computer Engineers minimal at best.
