    At the close of World War II—the deadliest conflict in human history—British Prime Minister Winston Churchill declared that the United States stood “at the summit of the world.”

    Your own source all but says post-WW2 is when the U.S. became a world superpower.

    Learn how domestic expansion and three wars—the Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II—transformed the United States’ standing in the world.

    There’s also the summary at the very top

    I could find more, but it’s pretty well agreed upon that post-WW2 was when the U.S. became a world superpower.

  • Those are software people. I wouldn’t really consider them engineers in the sense being discussed here. Lots of software people are ready to rewrite the entire code base in a refactor bcz they think they can decouple a few systems in a better way, all the while introducing bugs while they do it. I dont know a lot of engineers willing to do that. It’s not zero, I do know a few, but it’s a lot less.
