Web Developers, Why Aren't We Using Titles? by my2cents(op): 4:50pm On Apr 07, 2008
Given the average Nigerian's love for titles in his name (both prefix and suffix - Pastor, Chief, Dr, Okon Lateef Lukman PSC, MON, SAN), it just hit me that I haven't noticed any developer here using any titles.

For example, why am I not seeing something like:
webemarald MCSE, MCDBA, DWA (sorry to pick on you webemarald. Your username was the first to come to mind grin)

Just wondering. Any thoughts? wink

Well to start with the basic recognized web developer certification which is CIW is quite not basically a prequisite to developing web applications or designing very well.

By the way i believe real web developers are far busy handlng web projects that fluanting ancronyms of certifications just to show off.

Reminds me of medical doctors in Nigeria,once you are a doctor here you will certainly see a stesthoscope hung on the front mirror on top of the dash board.

typical of all doctors.

So back to the issue of web developers,who the heck needs a title to massage his ego when we aint medical doctors or typical nigerian politicians that would die for just an ordinary traditional title.

why are we so much interested in titles. a friend once told me that the poorer the more title a man has. big men don't have titles e.g. when you want to refer to a local champ, you say Chief, Dr. Adekunle Joseph Nnamdi, CON OON, Aladiye of Ijora II

but when you are referring to a great man you just call his one or two names only ie Bill Gates, Atiku, George Bush etc

and i think he's right

i will prefer "Aphoe" rather than some crazy titles
