- hombre_fatal 1y agoI think we should we put this title-based distinction to rest. Whether you call yourself an engineer, developer, programmer, or even a coder is mostly a localized thing, not an evaluation of expertise. We're confusing everyone when we pretend a title reflects how good we are at the craft, especially titles we already use to refer to ourselves without judgement. At least use script kiddie or something.
