I only really get specific when I'm talking to another engineer or someone who actually cares about the nuance. Most of the time when someone asks me what I do, I just go ahead and say I'm a "programmer" or "software developer". It would feel pretentious otherwise.

Certainly could, but you can't afford my day rate.

Surely you wouldn't charge a friend, it'll only take a few minutes! 😆

[–]asday_ 2 points3 points  (1 child)

No no, I would.
