When I saw the headline I immediately though of Don't Call Yourself A Programmer, And Other Career Advice. The issue of what to call yourself is definitely an ongoing debate within software and computing. The last place I worked at let you pick your own title and I chose 'TLA Enthusiast'. I think that using the term engineer may be a bit of a hold over from early in the life computing science where people tried to apply the terms they already had to this new field. Should it be something else? Probably. What should that be? Probably not programmer, as it's a little reductive, IMO.
