I work in the tech industry. In the tech industry, titles are absolutely bullshit. We have varying descriptions from developer all the way up to rock star ninja wizard to describe the exact same thing, someone who gets shit done. At large tech companies titles are fixed based on level, they are fairly simple and generic, it's a good thing. {Junior, Senior, Staff} Software Engineer. At startups it's a free-for-all. Full stack, architect, VP of something something, global head of... Titles have truly become meaningless. In reality in a startup, developer, programmer and engineer all mean exactly the same thing. Someone who writes code, who thinks about constructing a solution to a problem which may be on an infrastructure, a software, or a business level, or heck probably all three.
