anyone else get annoyed when this field is called "IT"? Maybe I'm over-sensitive but I just can't shake the feeling that "IT" is what shit-for-brains pointy haired boss types call this line of work.
Personally I prefer to just be called a programmer or an engineer, or a developer and for the job to be called programming, software engineering, or software development. "IT" is the guy who sets up the locked-down site installation for the accounting department which runs Windows XP and IE8 and the users aren't allowed to change it. I don't want to be associated with that.
