Shut up "coder" and get back to work. You don't need a private office. After all, you aren't a doctor, a lawyer, or even an MBA. Also, don't forget about all of those stock options we gave you in lieu of a market-rate salary; those could potentially make you a millionaire! Quit your whining.
All-nighters' worth of unpaid overtime and crowded, noisy, privacy-free open office working conditions that would make anyone who isn't a 20-something long for the days of the once-denigrated cube farm. Really shows how little respected we are.
We also call ourselves "geeks," which is also quite bad, and we've done little to stop the media and industry rebranding us as "coders," a job title with little prestige or connotations of authority and professionalism, over our previous titles like "software engineer/developer/architect" or even just "programmer." Collectively, we're really pretty socially inept, aren't we?
