Inflation of Job Titles in the IT Industry and Its Consequences

In this article, the author discusses the issue of titles in the software engineering field, arguing that they have largely lost their meaning. Titles, which should indicate an employee's level of skills and experience, are often vague. As a result, individuals in the IT sector may struggle to determine their position within the corporate hierarchy. The author argues for titles to be more transparent and linked to actual skills and project contributions. A shift in how titles are perceived could positively affect engineers' career development, allowing them to better understand their capabilities and market expectations.
