I would like to know what she says as I struggle to say what I do. Especially to people that I do not know what they do for a living or what level of knowledge they have of software, which is often not that much where I live. Which also is what I stereotype to guess who my mother would be speaking to as well. In the end it does not seem to matter how accurate I have been through my career: Consultant, Solution Architect, Engineering Manager, "integrate banks' systems with other banks", etc, all most people hear is that I work with computers, which always get followed up with a comment about their printer not working. So I often give up and just say I am a "programmer".
