We don't need more labels, we need less labels. You are not doing anything ground breaking here, this how we ended up with all other unicorn titles.

You don't need a label, to get what you want from your profession, labels are at the end meaningless.

Focus on the doing good work.

HR could use this new Software Forgemaster label to bring people with a successful and healthy mindset. And if most people in the company have a succesfull mindset. Only success can be achieved.

It really comes out cultish and salesmansy.

I know i'm not doing something out of this world. I'm just defining a new label that people could use. Other "unicorn" titles as you name it, lacks meaning and just were invented by marketing needs.

This label is defined because in our industry a lot of people do not love themselves so much, they think they are not worthy of having self respect and success. They are missing a lot of opportunities to grow, because of low standards and listening to lower self thoughts.

You can focus on doing good work. But also focus on your self care.

We all need high standards to ourselves so we have a better life, in this way we can contribute better in our work activities.

And this is not?

I'm sorry but where are you getting this information? Do you realize that maybe your perception my influenced by your immediate circumstances and that is not the reality for most of us.

Now, let's assume for a moment that your statement is true; if people in our industry lack self respect, have low self esteem and they are not living a good life (whatever that means) don't you think that the causes of that might be deeper than just the title people apply to themselves.
