Computer science isn't a science and it's not about actual computers. Software engineering isn't engineering and is really about the limits of people, not software in and of itself.

Nevertheless, my job title is "Software Engineer". Where it makes sense, I model myself after our elder cousin professions. When it doesn't, I don't.




I have that title too; I feel that basically "coder" + "process" = "software engineer."
