Tech Community Mocks Title Inflation
kscottz · x · 2026-07-15
This post pokes fun at the rampant "title inflation" within the tech community:
- Front-end devs doing hardware now call themselves builders.
- VCs playing with agents now call themselves founders.
- Crypto folks touching physical AI now call themselves roboticists.
- PMs managing SaaS now call themselves engineers.
The core joke is a series of witty contrasts, mocking how everyone is slapping increasingly "premium" labels on their resumes.
