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 think “prompt engineer” is the best job title on multiple levels

I hear the voice of the machine spirit!

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

Also codemancer

i can tell a programmer didn’t write those questions because “code ninja” isn’t one of the options

Engineer, most girls probably wouldn’t think twice about software* but engineer has a ring to it. Like doctor.

imo and in the eyes of the govt of canada you ain’t a real engineer unless you got the ring and have to adhere to standards like actual engineers do.

More importantly which do potential employers want to see on my resume because they’re shifty bastards always moving the goal posta around

I’m a Senior Computer Software Developer Programming Engineer, or SCSDPE (which is pronounced Skuzz-Deep), and I will be irreparably miffed if you get it wrong.

For your convenience, I also accept “that guy that sits weirdly close to the water fountain”, “hey”, and “paid keyboard user”.

And although his coding skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he deploys anything to production.

this is basically the 2000s “Code Ninja Wizard Monkey Robot” all over again.

spork!

IMO if they’re not an educated Computer Engineer, or at a minimum have a math-focused degree, then calling them Engineers is more than a little generous.

Remember when they tried to make ninja, Rockstar, and guru a thing?

Microsoft still uses those phrases un-ironically all the time.

Ow God I just cringed so hard I partly digested my skin. All those wacky Microsoft conferences. I’ve never felt so infantalised.
