Yes, it's meaningless among developers, but not among recruiters. Since I work first and foremost in exchange for money, I make it pretty clear to recruiters that I am "a very senior software architect with knowledge in X, Y and what not under my belt"... and so, I get more offers and got more money when negotiating an offer. Among my colleagues, or when someone (not a recruiter) asks me what I do for a living, I say: I'm a computer programmer.
