As someone who is in tech… not sure, either.

I am an engineer. Most developers aren't though, unfortunately.

Not only does this meme ignore the fact there's only 4 choices in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, it doesn't even do an even number of them leaving it annoyingly lopsided

Should have gone with something like “HaxorMaster1447”

I am partial to "code monkey"

On a serious note, I usually refer to myself as a developer or a software engineer when I wanna sound a bit more important.
