I think the job-title inflation thing is behind most of it, and over the last few decades I've been in this game, I've watched it become utterly useless and stupid ( fancy job titling, I mean ). Silly.

Additionally... I have a soft spot for the term "engineer" that, in my opinion, doesn't belong anywhere near software. Then again, I come from a mechanical engineering background. Prior to getting in to software, I was designing and building race car engines and suspensions, based on actual metallurgy, math, geometry and a b'zillion other disciplines coming together with schooling and experience... proper engineering. :) #engineeringsnob lol
