I don't know about title and how it factors in - but It is noteworthy that these two entries - seemingly the same profession, are so disparately placed. This industry has a huge variation in working conditions/environments. There are the people who work at large corporations - think insurance, banks, major enterprise apps etc. They work on "boring" problems, but they also get paid well, and probably don't have a ton of stress. There are startup people who get paid OK, plus owernship packages who work long hours, regularly have some heavy stress, but they "live the dream" - many are truly happy with their work situation. There are folks like game programmers who are always on a death march, have 80hr weeks, but don't get paid very well to chase some dream. By many accounts, the end up burnt out/used up fast. With such widely varying roles - it makes sense that there are multiple rankings in fairly different places on the list.
