#2There are titles they give you and titles you give yoruself. I personally am a "super admin" and a "human proofing tool" whereas in common acceptance, I am a "lawyer". Ps. totally up for "Senior Ninja"

I am against those gimmicky terms. They mean nothing and come and go. The company I work for is all about calling developers "rockstars".

I strongly dislike funky titles.

#9I'm at a small (marketing) firm. When we have multiple devs, I'm the "Senior Developer." But whenever I'm the only dev, the "Senior" prefix gets stripped.
I think titles like "Ninja" or "Guru" are just as overrated as "Web 2.0" or "Cloud."
