Well, I'd much prefer a title nicked from the military, like "grunt" or "man on the ground" rather than "code monkey" which I've always found condescending. One implies that you are submitting to the common good, other that you are submitting because you can't do anything else. Different strokes, I guess. Anyway, whatever you call it, you appear to not be one. You're managing them. If I worked for you I'd tell you straight off "don't call me code monkey." Oh wait, you wouldn't hire me. You think I'm useless.
