Dilbert on Software Architects
- jcromartie 19y agoMy title contains the word "engineer." That's what I'm good at. At least, I think. I'm good at solving problems, building tools, and doing the design and engineering for a system or feature. However, there's no "engineering" to be done at the moment. Some days I wish they would just change my job title to "code monkey." It would really be a better fit with the actual work.
- DanielBMarkham 19y agoI like "code monkey" I've had all kinds of titles: PM, architect (project, enterprise, and system), senior developer, lead, tech lead, design team lead, DBA, trainer, mentor, coach. I've had 'em all -- and I like "code monkey" the best.
- edw519 19y agoI prefer "Programmer Emeritus". I ask my clients to kiss my ring. (For some clients, I put my ring in my back pocket first.)
- systems 19y ago"Systems Analyst" any one!!!
- ocastaneda 19y agoI think Wally's dream is possible! Especially if we consider architecture as the "normative restriction of design freedom."(Dietz, 2007) And if successful, I think Wally should start his own company! http://ocastaneda.weblog.tudelft.nl/2008/03/04 http://ocastaneda.weblog.tudelft.nl/2008/03/04
- evilneanderthal 19y agoI want the title Artifex.
- zach 19y agoThe Roman Emperor Majorian described himself as one "who still glories in the name of senator." I glory in the name of "programmer." I would prefer nothing more, regardless of what my other responsibilities may be, because it's the most pleasing title to me.
- thaumaturgy 19y agoWally could always quit his job and become a cartoonist ...
