    Is there such a thing? If not, we deserve our own. I mean if crows (a murder) and cows (a herd) and such can have one, why can't we?

      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."

                        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

                        "SEG" - Ah, yes, then management would understand the term "segfault"

                              Or an "Assembly" but that may be too close to the Hardware

                                  I worked at a place where my boss called us the weenies and a group of us was known as a gaggle - a gaggle of weenies. It was amusing. We also had three classifications of engineers - volts, bolts, and bytes : EE, ME, and SE.

                                  "They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

                                    Since we don't have consent on naming and a group of software engineers could never agree on a common name, how about a Nota? A group of None Of The Above.
