Everyone has these swank job titles now. VP, Principal Something-Something Architect. I'm sorta jealous.

I'm just a "Software Engineer" (I think?) at 23 years in. Actually, I have no idea what my title is, so I just say "Software Engineer".

Titles are just titles, I use software developer or system developer.

Next month will be the first time I get a new official title due to a new role, and I am 50 ;)

Titles fill three functions, to help others identify who’s responsible, to indicate what type of rile you have held when looking for a job, and for bragging.

I've been a web dev, a e-commerce developer, a software engineer and a senior software engineer.

Call it want you want, I still poke keys and produce code.

Officially: web dev
Unoffficially: Mädchen für alles
