How about the Editorial "we"?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It depends on who I am talking to.
My roles here are the senior architect and the senior developer.
For the next months I will even jump into "Head of IT" while my boss is on a longer (planned) absence and I will be in his position for that time.
While in this role, my coding output will be significantly reduced, but I am still senior dev and responsible for the architecture here.

Yeah, but what do you call yourself when a long lost friend asks "so where did you end up?"

...officially.
But I hold myself as developer and when a customer pisses me off I'm the ultimate authority (and if they do not do what I say they can do it alone!)...

But I don't call me anything.
I was told I should not speak with myself if I wanted to be taken seriously

First, it took me a while and a freaking lot of effort to obtain my engineering degree.
Second, it's how the company I work for presents me and refer to me.
Third, I am not a developer. I write software all day all days but I'm no programmer - I think very differently from the average lego-bricks player that passes as developer these days, since I'm not concerned with reinventing the wheel, following the latest technology trend, avoiding low-level code and optimization... because I am an engineer, tasked to solve problems under constraints and I do what's necessary, trying to keep everything as clean and maintainable as possible but that is another constraint in the set, not my main objective.

Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

My first name is enough. I am not into titles or whatnot. The people that work for you or with out know who you are and what you are. If someone asks me what I do for a living, I say software developer; no need to say anything more. I used to work at a place that a quarter of the developers called themselves architects and of course these were the people that had the big email signatures with disclaimers and couldn't keep their mouths shut at meetings.

is that they want to hear only what they want to hear.

Come on.. surely you'd like to be a doctor? Imagine it..
"The name's Foo.. Dr. Foo." - sounds like a movie villain, how cool would that be?

Haha, Tony Foo PhD, Esq, CSM!
I was just venting. I get sick of continuous emails where people need to tell me their job title, work address, email address, phone, ect... in their email signature, when I already know them; half the time they're in my group. Actually, I got an email from a PhD yesterday. I do not call her doctor, I called her by her first name and I ended the email with my name, only. If I am sick I don't call her, but when she has a problem she contacts me, because she knows who I am and I'm the person that will solve her problem.

Big email signature? I've got a few that are 11 lines, the company logo, and of course the disclaimer saying to delete this if you are not the intended recipient. Really, are people that needy to promote themselves?
