Nope, most people are fine with “I’m a programmer”, the few times someone asked me what exactly did I program, I answered with the ELI5 version of what I do and that’s always been enough, e.g.
- I make computers see and understand what they’re seeing.
- You now site X? I work there
- You know game X? I work in the servers for it
Yes, but that’s like saying “it’s pretty standard for DE to have one minimize button, one maximize button and a close button”. I chose clothes because they can’t be standardized for the same reason as Linux, i.e. they’re modular and people have different tastes on each of the modules, so the full thing can never be standardized even if some of the modules are quite similar among themselves.
