Well since I'm not a ML engineer of any kind - that's good!

at the end of the day, you are still moving, storing and manipulating 1's and 0's, whether you are a front end engineer or a backend engineer or systems engieer or an ML engineer or an infra engineer

yeah, but how do you get the hiring managers to see things in the same way? :)

well at least I fit my resume to match the 'job description' because at the end of the day it's all hallucinations and 'real' software engineers that has core computer science skills can literally do anything
