    Someone drew this. Someone thought of this, mulled it over, decided that they should draw it, then drew it, published it and shared it with everyone. This.

    I will not have it!

    I don’t really know how to explain my job to someone without them thinking it’s something else. Maybe it’s ego but I hate saying I’m a dev (and which kind) because of what they’re going to assume but I also don’t want to say something pretentious like “I solve problems”.

    I have been thinking of just saying I program even though that’s very reductionist but at the same time I don’t want to answer any questions about my work.

    I guess you could say I wish I had a real job that did real things.

    /end rant

      How about words that are similar to devel? Things like software architect, software technician, software analyst, or maybe just software engineer.
      I like engineer because my job encompasses many other aspects in addition to development.

        Of topic: At least in Germany the work title “engineer” is protected. You need to have studied a technical degree in at least a 3 year program at a recognized university. Just a fun fact.

          I believe that is true in the US too, except maybe for software development. Last time I went and looked at new job posts, they were all for software engineers, even positions that were clearly for entry level jobs where programming wasn’t even really the focus.
