At work they just call me: "Put those pens back and get outta here; you were fired weeks ago!"

software engineer (engineer for short), software developer (dev/developer for short), software designer (although that last one sounds weird). the job is a lot more than programming, depending on your position it can be mostly communication or mostly engineering or mostly something else entirely. maybe even mostly sitting on your ass all day!

If you call a dev a programmer and they don’t get huffy they are hands down one of the raddest people you’ll ever meet.

As someone who is in tech… not sure, either.

Even in the trade myself for 30 years, I have nfc. Probably not Engineer (by itself) though.

My dad had the rare chance to name his position whatever he wanted, but the higher ups still rejected his choice of Grand Poobah.

Serious question, not a native speaker: Why do people in the Anglosphere refer to mostly-software companies as tech companies, or to software developers as tech workers?
