Yeaps that's true. People also don't know what's Software/Web Developer means. Whenever someone as me what do you do. I reply I make websites like Facebook and Apps like Viber. They understand me.

Followed by (but not limited to)
"my Internet is not working "
" can you fix my computer? "
" I have a great idea for an app! "
" oh so you're one of those geeks"

@error503 that is a great way to have people going: This is "error503", he makes facebook!

My suggestion would be to just mention websites, and smartphone apps. Not naming them. "Stuff like" also helps.

@Bacontaskmaster I tried but majority of them knows Facebook and they don't know that it's a website. Same goes for mobile apps they don't know what it is, so I mention viber.

@error503 i don't even know that app, but sure. You need to start hanging out with a more intelligent crowd man. I feel sorry for ya!

What's a software engineer?

@matsaki95 how do you engineer software? What part of coding requires engineering anything...

A friend of mine mentioned that he met someone doing their bachelor's degree to become a dev, but said it as "yeah he's a software programmer just like you...", I swear sometimes he just doesn't he try to think
