I can appreciate the concern for eroding your title. I question the line where you decide who is an SE and who isn't.

I'm a recent cs grad who's dabbled in lots of c, java and python as my main languages. I'm getting into node and mongoDB. I drank the linux koolaid early so it pains me that I'm day jobbing as a jr dev building institutional investment tools, and I've got a fledging startup (Loodo.co).

Am I an SE yet?

I guess my "line" would have to be where you've built a software product professionally. Whether it be your company or an outside company. My argument is coming from the bootcamp grads that don't call themselves JR or Entry level.
