    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"

        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?

            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.

                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.

                                    I kind of like that one myself, even if I did come up with it. It's an unused keyword that will not cause parsing ambiguity.

                                          It really depends upon their particular breed (e.g., a flock of geese but a murder of crows). One that fits well is "An Infestation of Agile Developers".
