I have the words "software engineer" in my job title but I hate it.
We aren't engineers, we're a bunch of undisciplined hackers, engineers have standards and ethics.
Programmer is my preferred term, or software developer.
Code monkey is also acceptable.
Engineers put a lot of work into figuring out ways to sidestep their standards and ethics
Good ones don't.
A tau. Moral engineers don't sidestep their morals.
