Programmer Humor

Codebender

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".

Tech-priest.

Magos.

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

Todos alaban al Santo Omnissiah, y así sucesivamente.

Code monkey

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

• Viewport engineer.
• Browser-space technician.
• Microsoft painter-decorator.
• Inferior decorator.
• He-who-responds (on the bugs channel).
• Scope denier.
• Manager disappointer.

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.

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.

Hackerman

A "good girl"

Digital archæologist. Bitshifter.

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.

"Software Development Engineer"

Digital wizard.

machine whisperer

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.

Space wizard will do thanks

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
