... and the company needed to come up with titles for a new group ...

• Person A: I don't like the term 'developer'.
• Person B: I don't like the term 'engineer'. I solve business problems, not work on scientific planning
• Person C: I don't like the term 'programmer'. I am more than just someone who writes code.
• Person D: I hate the term 'consultant'.
• Person E: 'architect' is so fluffy. I do want to write code

When noone agreed the title became:

Middleware Maven

A title that no one would ever want :)

"maven: an expert or connoisseur."

(based on a true story)
