"JavaScript engineer", really?
2 comments

Elaine is one of the founders of Meebo, so yes, JavaScript engineer.
The trend of calling someone an "engineer" for all sorts of things may puzzle people who live in places where the title of "engineer" is regulated.

Depending on how far you want to take it, the term can really lose its meaning. Is a supermarket stocker a "display engineer"? They do have to make considerations for aesthetics, space, and so forth...
