I do lots of other things l, like make sure my software works, and make sure the users are successful with it — but I don’t know what that job title is.
“I print money for my employer” seems a little OTT...
I also sell, do marketing, technical writing, negotiate with vendors, manage multiple product roadmaps, manage teams of people who program, manage servers and networks, manage sysadmins, cook, and so on. But because I was also AS21863 for a decade, I've always been a sysadmin who programs, and not a "programmer" who runs a network (and does these other things). But this isn't really about my job title.
The point is that I've been programming for over three decades, and over time this skill became just one of many things that I do.
"Programmers", are people where that's all they do, so they look to solve problems with more programming. Wanting to call them "software engineer" or "software developer" or "potato" anything else doesn't matter to me.
