Too many chiefs and just one craftsman. This definitely rings a bell. It's such a shame for startups to "enterprisy" their job roles.

- ffumarola 16y agoI'm not the only one who noticed that? Seems odd.
- csavage 16y agoThis is a great point and something that has been debated extensively over here. I've got a blog post coming to explain our reasoning. (edit) Here's my fresh blog post: http://savagethoughts.com/post/3772138359/whats-in-a-name http://savagethoughts.com/post/3772138359/whats-in-a-name
- russell_h 16y agoI think that can come in handy in a business-to-business situation. For example, if you have two engineers you can either call them each a "Software Developer" or you can have a "VP of Engineering" and a "CTO". Now when your customer, Huge-Corp(TM), who is going to pay the bills for the next 3 months calls, would you rather tell them "let me put one of our developers on the phone" or "let me put our vice president of engineering on the phone"?
- patio11 16y agoIn a similar vein, I introduce myself as "I'm in charge of the product" when returning calls.
- DTrejo 16y agoHuh? 2 CS, 1 Designer, 3 others. I count three craftsmen.
