@sweatystartup We always required trying bites (five bites for five years etc) and then if they refuse AFTER that they have one option: go make your own PBJ. Now they always eat whatever we make, provide positive feedback, and have lots of favorites that they “hated” when they were three.

I think the problem with all of these naming conventions is not actually that people refer to themselves as "developers" when they are not. The problem is their clients believe that they can solve problems which they cannot, regardless of titles. And that's where the rubber
