First-Class NULL Search Expert - sounds pretty awesome to me!

Definitely fun. A few of the random's seemed familiar enough that I wanted to search through old business cards and Linkin contacts to see if someone I know was actually using them ;-)

Some of the combinations are so stupid that they could be real :D

I think these job titles are more likely to show up in a HN job post.

First Class Internet Explorer Bitch! I need this title.

I once worked in a declining startup where the boss came up with increasingly unlikely product names for the increasingly desperate things we developers were tasked to create. The more insignificant a piece of software was, the fancier a name it ended up with. We coped with this in our way, by writing a bullshit name generator using word components from previous product names. It did end up having a few "hits" where some of the generated names would turn into actual products (despite the boss being blissfully unaware of our little name generator pisstake).

I've got "Ultra HackerNews Admin".

So we should come to you when a title needs to be changed from now on?

good stuff. Time to update my Linkedin profile

"Ultra Marketing CTO". Is that returned by oxymoron_generate() ?
chrisvineup
"Holy web slut" I think ill skip out on the business stationery with that one. However the title is pretty close to the truth.

I first read Sithlord as Shitlord...
James_Duval
Which actually would make sense as a bullshit job title, taken in context with the memes of certain online communities...

But I am a "Brilliant Internet Explorer Dick"

I've always said that when I start a company I'm going to give out really meaningless titles like "Super Nintendo" and "Stealth Bomber", and make sure they go on the business cards.

"Awesome future bitch".. okay it has to be a little realistic.

"Ultra Error Expert" -- I can stand behind that. I take some functioning code and make it non-functioning in no time!

I like to come into work at night, open a cpp file somewhere deep in our code base... then remove a semi colon.

I hope you write #line 9000 on the previous line to add to the confusion?

I swear sometimes I think you guys have no soul. That's downright evil.

In a C codebase, I would prefer '#define struct union' tucked away in a shared header. Compiles just fine.

Apparently I "♥ Android Dick" sigh

Seems accurate. I've seen just as many RockStar and Ninja titles through this as I do in real life.

Fun tool.

"First Class Professional Dick" would definitely get someone's attention.

Louis C.K. called himself that in Live at the Beacon Theater. At least "being a professional dick paid to fly first class" ;)

"Codepen.io Ultra Un-Usable iPhone Site Tester." Aw well. :/
isxek
"Ultra Un-Usable." Ouch.

Spent long nights working on that complicated Backbone/jQuery/Ember app? Be a "Javascript Pizza Reheater."

Now I'm wondering what they have for Python users.

Please tell me that people don't put Sithlord in job titles...

#24 "Creative Bitch" - Jesse

I nearly spit my coffee out when I read: Über Chrome Dick

Sounds like robot porn.

At my last startup I actually got to choose my title and chose Lead Guitar. It just confused the hell out of people so I changed it to Lead Developer.

I got "Sexy Undefined Evangelist".

Going straight up to my résumé.
