I’ve had so many wacky job titles that at this point i dont care as long as i get paid.
More importantly which do potential employers want to see on my resume because they're shifty bastards always moving the goal posta around
Is "Sir" too much to ask for?
software engineer (engineer for short), software developer (dev/developer for short), software designer (although that last one sounds weird). the job is a lot more than programming, depending on your position it can be mostly communication or mostly engineering or mostly something else entirely. maybe even mostly sitting on your ass all day!
I hate that they took away my analyst title. I'm not a software engineer dammit. I don't even have an IDE installed and haven't done any programming in 10+ years.

If you call a dev a programmer and they don’t get huffy they are hands down one of the raddest people you’ll ever meet.

I usually go by "fuck you". Like someone yells out of their cube "who's goddamn code is this?!?! Ah, fuck you"

My dad had the rare chance to name his position whatever he wanted, but the higher ups still rejected his choice of Grand Poobah.
As someone who is in tech… not sure, either.
