The article does NOT say to call yourself an engineer instead, it's not nearly that pedantic. It says to say you increase revenues and/or decrease cost, not that you sling code.

Yes, the article even uses programmer and engineer interchangeably, so it advises you not to call yourself an engineer either!

Why do I keep seeing people comment without reading the article at all...

Because it's long and the font is small.
