Programmer Humor

At work they just call me: "Put those pens back and get outta here; you were fired weeks ago!"

My friends call me "Please fix my printer".

More importantly which do potential employers want to see on my resume because they're shifty bastards always moving the goal posta around

Sorcerer of servers

software engineer (engineer for short), software developer (dev/developer for short), software designer (although that last one sounds weird). the job is a lot more than programming, depending on your position it can be mostly communication or mostly engineering or mostly something else entirely. maybe even mostly sitting on your ass all day!

If you call a dev a programmer and they don’t get huffy they are hands down one of the raddest people you’ll ever meet.

Code whispers

I think typically A, B, C, and F are acceptable to most people. I certainly wouldn't mind any of those descriptions. D feels antiquated. E is too broad. G just sounds like a hobbyist.

I’ve had so many wacky job titles that at this point i dont care as long as i get paid.

And Computer Engineering is none of these.

Serious question, not a native speaker: Why do people in the Anglosphere refer to mostly-software companies as tech companies, or to software developers as tech workers?

As someone who is in tech… not sure, either.

Software Author/ Author

Even in the trade myself for 30 years, I have nfc. Probably not Engineer (by itself) though.

I usually go by "fuck you". Like someone yells out of their cube "who's goddamn code is this?!?! Ah, fuck you"

Also codemancer

I hate that they took away my analyst title. I'm not a software engineer dammit. I don't even have an IDE installed and haven't done any programming in 10+ years.

My dad had the rare chance to name his position whatever he wanted, but the higher ups still rejected his choice of Grand Poobah.
