How a regular convo with non-devs usually go:

"So what do you do?"

"I'm a software developer."

"Oh, so you're like... a hacker?"

"No, I build apps."

"Nice! So like facebooks and stuff???"

"Not exactly. Different things, mostly tools. It depends."

"Ooh...cool...Like what?"

*proceeds to spend what feels like an hour trying to explain what I do for a living in the simplest terms, while the person just blankly stares and nods, pauses, then finally tells me their crazily infeasible app idea.*

"So whadaya think?"

"Hmm...sounds good 😀👍"

    Key word 'Software Engineer'. Never say 'Developer', it's a trap

    Person: "What do you do?"

    Me: "I'm an engineer."

    Person: "Oh. I was never god at math."

    Yeah, now days I stick to developer or engineer. But it's harder to convince them you're not a hacker if you use the term 'programmer'

    Thats funny because when I'm on campus using the terminal or on my IDE, people stare at my screen for a minute before deciding to sit somewhere else. xD
