The Roman Emperor Majorian described himself as one "who still glories in the name of senator." I glory in the name of "programmer." I would prefer nothing more, regardless of what my other responsibilities may be, because it's the most pleasing title to me.
I prefer "Programmer Emeritus". I ask my clients to kiss my ring. (For some clients, I put my ring in my back pocket first.)
I like "code monkey"
I've had all kinds of titles: PM, architect (project, enterprise, and system), senior developer, lead, tech lead, design team lead, DBA, trainer, mentor, coach.
I've had 'em all -- and I like "code monkey" the best.

I think Wally's dream is possible! Especially if we consider architecture as the "normative restriction of design freedom."(Dietz, 2007) And if successful, I think Wally should start his own company!

I want the title Artifex.
Wally could always quit his job and become a cartoonist ...
"Systems Analyst" any one!!!
However, there's no "engineering" to be done at the moment. Some days I wish they would just change my job title to "code monkey." It would really be a better fit with the actual work.
