"Ooh that's really cool" is not what I'd expect to hear after saying I'm a software engineer
how so? my experience is that people tend to be impressed and intrigued and they hear I'm a software engineer
"software engineer" is such a stupid, shallow and arrogant description. I'm not an engineer and neither are you.
I'm a software developer, developer for short. All these fake "engineers" and "scientists" tend to be arrogant stuck up pricks.
Dude, you're a code monkey. You're not creating autocad graphs for Airbus, so get off your high horse.
Software developer and software engineer are two distinct roles though. They are conflated all too often.

And I have a master’s in computer engineering, don’t get me started on what people think I do.
