Yep, it's a nice, generic term... When I have to answer the main phone (When everyone else is off the desk), and they ask who I am, I generally say "I'm their programmer" or "I'm the resident geek"... Anything else just sounds pompous.

Yeah way better than "I'm a computer scientist" which the locals that studied 'puters in college are heard to say now and again! I studied art in college and am known around the office as "the guy that gets shit done". I kinda like that! :-\

See, that's a good title. I also sometimes describe myself as "The computer god" or "Miracle worker" (A little tribute to James Doohan). As for "computer scientist"... One of the few things I remember from college, though I can't remember which professor said it... "Computer science is a double-misnomer." It's not only about computers (Think integrated circuits), and it's not one of the classical sciences (Math, physics, biology, chemistry, etc). It's a purely-semantic argument, but it's funny to think about.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)I am referred to as "the peon" "hey temp guy" or "mr. expendable" ;)
If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

My official org-chart title: "Associate / Analyst" My official job title: "Software Developer" My boss refers to me as a: "Technologist" (I initially thought he just made that word up), or a number of more important-sounding titles if he's talking to potential investors. I've been referred to as a CTO more than once. I consider myself a: "Geek" I tell people I'm a: Writer... Programming has become just a day job... I feel old. :(

I've had lots of titles. Currently it's 'Development Team Leader'. I've only ever answered the question of "what do you do?" with "I'm a programmer"
I'm with you Josh. I don't hide behind a fancy title to have pride in what I do. I have a flashy title, but like you I simply say I'm a programmer when asked.
