A nickname positively or negatively influences a programmer’s career for the rest of their life. The right nickname can serve as a memorable “brand” that draws new clients and admirers.

The wrong nickname can make a programmer at best unable to compete and eventually forgotten, or at worst mocked and remembered forever for their horrible name rather than their excellent coding skills.

Who wants to be connected to a bland nickname, such as “Code Manager” or “Code Wrangler,” when there are so many other better options available?

Don’t even get us started about programmers who thought it was a good idea to declare their coding superiority with unappealing names like “Apex App Developer” and “Code God.”

We’ve found that the greatest nicknames usually involve a cool or funny play on words. We love many of these names and have developed a list for programmers to review to help them find their own unique brand. Check it out below!
