You needed to add "GET OFF MY LAWN, YA YOUNG WHIPPER-SNAPPERS!" to complete the image. So close. Out of interest, what do you think of GoodBarry's website & corporate image in general? Do you think it's childish and unprofessional? You said you wouldn't dream of acting any differently to your normal self on this mailing list, perhaps the same can be said for GoodBarry and their corporate identity? Not only are their job advertisements playful, so is their entire website! While that might seem abrasive to you, it gels very well with me ( pity I'm not a .NET developer ;-) ). I think we just belong to different generations - I belong to a newer generation of "developer" who don't really mind what we're called. "Software engineer" certainly doesn't describe what I do, since if that's all I did then why would I be subscribe to a startup and business-focused mailing list? It's hard to imagine vibrant young companies wanting "software engineers" anymore; they can just as easily find themselves someone who's creative and technically / business savvy.
