The older I get the louder I shout at clouds. "Engineers are hired to create business value, not to program things" FFS. True enough, but it's still claptrap.

One quote from George Orwell really struck for me: "speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act." It's why now when people ask me what I do, I say "programmer", not "software developer". Actually, I usually say "computer programmer", because otherwise people get confused and think it might be to do with programming videos. Like programming your video recorder was a job, or something.
