Whatever they want to call us, just don't care. More than OK to address myself as software developer, programmer, hacker, code writer, keyboard dancer, etc.

Joke aside, what the heck is Certified? So your software skills can asserted, by written test, that last for several hours...?

I refuse to acknowledge that online judge style algorithm questions could qualify or disqualify one person's capability to build software, it is like as civil engineers to build lego, bureaucratic BS

I agree with your mindset. This discussion feels extremely ego centric, imo.
