> Don't call yourself just a programmer anymore

This subtitle is almost the same as the title Patrick McKenzie's popular article on salary negotiation and career progression which is almost 10 years old now. So not really anything new and it's a bit disingenuous to present this as a big new change as of 2021.

The article does this switcharoo where it states something in the title, never addresses in the text and then it lists conclusions which aren't related to the main text or to the title. The conclusions make sense on their own - it's a list of useful skills for software developers. But they don't belong to the rest of the article or to its title.
