Programmer Humor

"Software Development Engineer"

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.

My friends call me "Please fix my printer".

My boss once referred to me as “code bastard”. I’m keeping it.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

A "good girl"

I only want to be called darling. Or a filthy worm, depending on the situation
