I don't really know how to explain my job to someone without them thinking it's something else. Maybe it's ego but I hate saying I'm a dev (and which kind) because of what they're going to assume but I also don't want to say something pretentious like "I solve problems".

I have been thinking of just saying I program even though that's very reductionist but at the same time I don't want to answer any questions about my work.

I guess you could say I wish I had a real job that did real things.
