True. A job title that isn't foisted on you isn't as bad, although it's a label you're applying to yourself. A silly job title you make up is harmless.

The danger for people that do one thing for 8+ hours a day is that they specialise too much. Their comfort zone will reduce to match exactly what they're doing and they'll stop learning. A good team lead or PM will keep switching their tasks around and keep stretching them.
