I'm British, so the word "engineer" makes me think of someone in an oil-stained boiler suit toiling away in the bowels of a factory or a 1970s bus depot :) The word feels dreary and uncreative. (I know its inaccurate - "engineer" derives from "ingenious" - it just doesn't have that meaning for me, probably the result of the dismally low expectations of an 80s-90s working class education where "engineering" = factory drudgery) "Computer Programmer" feels sharp, slick and clever like an 80s new wave music video, while "Developer" makes me think of someone who uses a Mac and appreciates graphic design. I just call myself a "programmer" most of the time. Its funny how we pick up these connotations...
