I find that the software industry is one of those industries where all role names are made up and change meaning all the time. As you said, just a few years ago (ok maybe a decade) a "Software Engineer" was a person who built Software, now it's a frontend developer that has a basic understanding of the backend.

Despite the terminological thefts and oversimplifications, I'm still proud to be a part of this industry. We're like the James Bonds of the digital world; we go by different names, but the substance of our work and our contributions are what truly define us. So, let them call us whatever they want... They may not always understand what we do, but they sure as hell need us to do it!
