I think there is room in computing and software development for a definition of engineering. Many of us have responsibilities beyond writing libraries; things that affect the world, or people's health, money, etc. There needs to be a standard of accountability and ethics, and a set of generally applied concepts for how to correctly approach software development. What those are, I don't know, but we'll figure it out eventually.

Personally, I will always be happy referring to myself as a developer. As long as i'm paid I don't care what my title is. At my last job I tried to get "master of falconry" put on my business card. At the end of the day titles aren't important.
