We all have an interest in the internet I think that is obvious, so I mean specifically programming, like C+, JavaScript, etc.

I code, but it hasn't been advantageous to call myself a programmer for a while now.

Why not? What do you find advantageous to call yourself instead.

Well I'm in the parent's shoes - and I usually call myself a "Founder" or something along those lines.

You'd probably be better off asking a more general question. Non-programmers are not likely to click a link, "Are you a programmer," while programmers are probably 10x more likely to click such a link.

My response to what I do is "computer stuff" and then I change the subject...

Nope. I'm a web designer and I have some interest in programing, but all I know is a little Actionscript.

I come here for the high quality discussion on the articles I do understand, and I read the occasional programming story just to see if I can get anything out of it.

I call myself a coder because I write code.

I don't hack, crack, or (verb)script-kiddie, so I won't refer to myself as a hacker, cracker, or script-kiddie.
