Yes, but that doesn’t mean that we should ignore the importance of what the title signifies. Titles may not be so important to you, but they are to others and they also help signify how others should treat you. If you were a very senior engineer, I would expect that you act very differently than a junior engineer, and the easiest way to understand what expectations I should have for you is your title.

I will concede that saying "titles are just food for our egos" is a bit blunt and that there's usually a difference in expectations between Jr Devs and Sr Devs at most companies.
