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

What? Everyone else went on a code learning field trip with Zuko. Now it’s my turn.

I'm in tech and "computer programmer" has always sounded to me like a grandma phrase. Like how all gaming consoles are referred to as "the Nintendo" or "the game station".

Has there been a programmer for anything other than a computer

[–] small_crow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I remember telling my high school guidance counsellor I was planning on becoming a programmer. She looked at me, head tilted like a confused dog and asked what excited me about Event Programming (as in, planning and scheduling large in-person events).

That was the first time someone didn't understand what I did for work, and it was about 5 years before I started doing it.

O, si es necesario, El Señor Arch-Magos.

Todos alaban al Santo Omnissiah, y así sucesivamente.

I put "Chaotic Neutral Technomancer" as my title at work and HR said I had to change it.

[–] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Damn that HR!

My friends call me "Please fix my printer".

Not engineer.

At least here in Germany, engineer is a protected profession. Other than that: All of the above.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

If you studied a technical science and do coding for that you may be allowed to be called ingenieur.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Interesting. In the US, all kinds of jobs are called engineers

Everyone who works on making software is a developer, even people who don’t program at all. people who make art for software work in software development. A “coder” only writes code. It’s more of a task than a job. A software engineer does technical design and probably also codes.

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

The reality is they all mean the same thing and are used interchangeably in different companies.

Digital archæologist. Bitshifter.

[–] klisurovi4@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

I am partial to "code monkey"

On a serious note, I usually refer to myself as a developer or a software engineer when I wanna sound a bit more important.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

[–] nelly_man@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I prefer Software Engineer, mostly because I studied at an engineering school and have a degree in Software Engineering. My actual titles have varied throughout my career, but I overall consider myself a software engineer.

[–] Simon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Space wizard will do thanks

[–] wathek@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago

You may call me Computer God. Or God for short if i deem it acceptable.

"Job titles are actually a fluid concept - why feel a strong need to label everything?" :-D

[–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I have always considered myself an engineer because I’m part of a multidisciplinary engineering organization designing a physical product that has embedded software. And “engineer” is the word at the end of my degrees, I guess.

But if somebody called me by any of those terms in the OP I would answer. And if somebody who works on an app or a video game calls themselves an engineer, it wouldn’t raise an eyebrow.

My only conclusion is that we here, who spend our days specifying exactly what we want computers to do, are not so great specifying ourselves exactly.

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Funny because HR doesn't know either and its their job. In the US, you just need to slap engineer at the end and you are golden.

[–] bouh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I am an engineer. Most developers aren't though, unfortunately.

[–] DanForever@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've set my role on my company's slack profile as "code connoisseur"

[–] icedcoffee@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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.
