Funny because HR doesn’t know either and its their job. In the US, you just need to slap engineer at the end and you are golden.

And Computer Engineering is none of these.

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

Idc, just please don’t call me a coder, it makes me sound like I’m a script kiddy.

Coder isn’t a professional title. Software engineer and engineer are very broad of a term, because they can cover alot of work that’s not directly coding software. Not all programmers write software code, some just ‘program’ software that’s already written.

So i think developer is the best term for someone that ‘develops’ and write software code for a living. Or even software developer, those terms are interchangable.

I like Computer Programmer. No mistaking it. Developers are people who organise houses to be built. Engineers work on trains. Coders encrypt data. No matter what nonsense word salad it says on my email signature, when I’m at a barbecue I say I’m a computer programmer.

I like to call myself a codemonkey

When people ask me what I do for a living I tell them that I furiously bang on a keyboard until the computer does what I want.

IMO if they’re not an educated Computer Engineer, or at a minimum have a math-focused degree, then calling them Engineers is more than a little generous.

I am an engineer. Most developers aren’t though, unfortunately.
