Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
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!
Code whispers
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.
My friends call me "Please fix my printer".
I’ve had so many wacky job titles that at this point i dont care as long as i get paid.

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.
Deputy assistant senior vice president software engineering manager
Is "Sir" too much to ask for?
Sorcerer of servers
More importantly which do potential employers want to see on my resume because they're shifty bastards always moving the goal posta around
And Computer Engineering is none of these.
I'd prefer senior developer but HR calls me a senior engineer.
I personally believe if you are writing novel IP software you are engineering, if you are just connecting cloud tools or writing basic ETL stuff, that's developing.
I'm probably 40/60 eng/dev. And 200% meetings.

As someone who is in tech… not sure, either.
Even in the trade myself for 30 years, I have nfc. Probably not Engineer (by itself) though.
Serious question, not a native speaker: Why do people in the Anglosphere refer to mostly-software companies as tech companies, or to software developers as tech workers?
