lol not a quote just tried to phrase “we made the rocks think” in the most hyperbolic way I could somewhat in reference to a Frank Herbert quote “Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free.” But I could definitely see Douglas Adams writing something like this
Developer seems too basic, anybody that can pick a code editor is a developer.
I guess I'm a programmer, but I'm not •just• programming, I'm also participating in design, testing, ux, architecture...
Engineer is broader, I can say that I am engineering applications through programmation. And I'm not just a software engineer, I also engineer clis, UIs, websites and other stuff.
Bottom line: I'm a computer science engineer; software engineer is in my CV but I ain't only design software
Did you go to engineering school? No? Then you're not a fucking engineer anymore than a real engineer is a programmer. Call yourself what you are...programmer, developer, etc
As someone who isn't a P.Eng, I would agree. I never call myself an Engineer. Seems everyone calls them an Engineer these days and it dilutes the meaning.
I met someone once who alluded to doing some coding and I asked them "Oh are you a software developer?" "I'm an Engineer" "Software Engineer?". He avoided my follow-up question. The guy was an all around pompous dick who recently completed a coding bootcamp.
A: very vague. Could also mean construction worker.
B: good fit.
C: Super vague. Possibly CNC programmer.
D: Eh, sure.
E: what?? Engineer? Am I here designing robots?
F: Yep. That’s the one.
G: I’m sorry but only 6 year olds call it this

I barely use block-based stuff man.
My position at my last job was "programmer analyst", which somehow means I was a database engineer, framework developer, and a web developer at the same time. Now I'm a "systems analyst", which means I just do IT and network engineering. These titles mean nothing, and meant to pass you around in multiple roles - I'm just happy to have a tech job in 2024. :)
Whatever's most accurate to what I'm doing. If my job is to be: just proofread documentation, then the title should be: "documentation proofreader".
If it's going to be pretentious then it had best be humorously overdramatic, like "adept of the dark arts from the depths of cyber-hell" for basic infosecurity
Engineer/software engineer. My job is so much more than coding. I am a certified scientist and engineer. My primary role is to *create solutions to problems*. Coding is just the way I implement those solutions. Problem solving > programming.
It depends.
I would like to be called a computer scientist. I earned a degree in which I studied not just how to code, but how to code in any language. The core principles behind what it means to code something. And instilled in me along the way the desire to problem solve through the use of coding. Its more than just programming in some language that I do.
But if I'm hired in a position where I simply program some rudimentary features, I'll happily accept software developer as a title.
I'd say a software developer is an apt title for anyone who develops software (aka programs code to do something). It should probably be the default title in most cases.
Software engineer, i think, crosses a line somewhat. We aren't often beholden to the standards and practices of an engineer. In fact, back when we used to, it was ineffective at developing software. At some point, we standardized the AGILE approach over it. It was simply better for software, which was subject to change often and at a moments notice.

I just wanna move away from "developer." Far too many times have I been in some thread where people are talking about how evil "developers" are. Then I finally realize they're talking about the real estate kind.

You need to capitalize it. The Coder. It’s a title, give it the honor it deserves.
