ooohhh this one actually does bother me sometimes. Probably not for the same reason though. We've had a few guys proclaim themselves as "Software Architects" after just a few years of bug fixing. They seem to do it to distinguish themselves from the rest of the less gifted masses. One of our guys with the same level of experience as everyone else couldn't be bothered with scripting all of his database schema changes (which was a boring and tedious task because of how we managed changes at the time, and he didn't bother to keep track of them as he made them) because he was an "Architecture guy". A title that he gave himself and was in no way reflected on his resume.

If there are Software Architects they are very senior and experienced and hired into a position that asked for a Software Architect. They design entire systems not just a page here or there.
