Not as bad as "Bespoke." The banks took bespoke and ran with it. They started calling Synthetic CDOs, Bespoke CDOs. These instruments arguably caused the last financial meltdown and housing crash.

It's a twice divorced derivative. CDOs hold debt instruments (like mortages.) Synthetic CDOs will hold other CDOs. A big pile of legos.

In summary, fancy wordship is usually deception at heart.

In summary, just call yourself a "Software Engineer" guys. Leave out the Rockstar, Superstar, Craftsman, Prodigy, etc.

Amen, utterly ridiculous adjectives are an embarrassment to both yourself and the profession.

The same could be said for programmers calling themselves "Software Engineers".
