      I vote for "Pint". On many days I could use one after work ... and on some days, for breakfast ....

                There could be simple: SEG (software engineer group) ---or little more fun--- SKOPE (Software Keep Of 'programming' engineers) The 'p' should have swap rights, allowing anyone to apply p's definition to fit the moment or their mood. Like: SKOPE (Software Keep Of 'pissed-off' engineers) SKOPE (Software Keep Of 'phenomenal' engineers) or more practical ones... SKOPE (Software Keep Of 'practicing' engineers) SKOPE (Software Keep Of 'practical' engineers) SKOPE (Software Keep Of 'procedural' engineers) The word scope speaks to industry identifier of some things that are grouped together, so it even kinda makes sense...or not. Enjoy :-D

                      A recursion. A vector. A function. A scrum. A requirement. A specification. A crash. A basement (as in "living in parents'").

                        A group of programmers is called a "Crash" A group of artist is a "Pixel Pit" A group of producers is a "Meeting"

                            Well, clearly we would be a Generic Collection. Some less hygienic members would be a Heap<T> while our politer members would obviously be a Queue<T>

                            I'm good with 'collection'. These things are called terms of venery.

                              We are the Collection. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile

                                Seeing as managing a group of programmers is often compared to herding cats.... "A Pride of Programmers."
