Code Monkey
-
Has anyone here ever been called Code Monkey? I was talking to a system architect and he casually called me a "Code Monkey". BTW that guy works for another outfit. Developers are not respected where I work either. At my shop I have been called a "Worker Bee".

Presumably by a drone or a larva ?

Depends on who is calling you code monkey, but most of the time I've heard it, it is not in disrespect but more in terms of having to do brain-dead code changes. For example, in the web I often have to pixel-push, tweak the location of controls just a few pixels to make things look nicer. Code Monkey is a similar term. Code changes that could be done by a monkey because they are tedious and /or easy. However, hopefully not all the work you do is that way. :-\
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

As long as they're paying you much more than just peanuts, it is OK.

I sometimes refer to myself as a codemonkey [or ninja] so don't worry and pass the banananananas.

Our CEO calls us "code workmen" (the Italian word used defines unskilled work), and it's a software company. You know what? She's right - I'm a simple workman so I take no responsibility. No credit also, but that's ok with me.

Depends a great deal on context.

Are you suggesting it's ok to use degrading names as long as the target gets paid?

It might have just been in jest. We refer to designing web pages as "colouring in".
