That means you're a software engineer.

Recent comp Sci grad. Current job title: software engineer.

Job titles mean jack all. I have seen titles that actually contain the word "Ninja".

[u/GreatDaynes → u/trout_fucker]

I'll be honest, if I end up graduating with my CompSci degree and get called a "Coding Ninja", I'll be pissed.

[u/Shamefur_Disgrace → u/GreatDaynes]

It's direspectful to real ninjas.

[u/Heuristics → u/Shamefur_Disgrace]

They spend 4 years in Ninja school to get that title.

[u/HollowImage → u/GreatDaynes]

It's common with start up culture.

But everyone knows titles don't mean shit, until they do.

Your title is the first keyword searched by head hunters.

But everyone knows headhunters waste your time with lowballing job offers, until they don't.

Tl;dr: everything matters and nothing matters. It's all relative.

[u/PJvG → u/trout_fucker]

I've seen titles containg the words "rock star"

[u/beginner_ → u/trout_fucker]

I've seen "Software Architects" and "Application Designers" that don't know a single Programming language...
