This mindset can be applied to any profession and life in general. But I want a label that people in the software industry can use to describe themselves and tell the world they can make software and be a successful person too.

You are mixing things here, you are trying to push some 99 cent self help philosophy with profession of software engineering; and trust me no matter what you call it trying to tie success, self-care and fulfilment to your title will only end in tears.

In the same spirit of writing good code, using only "Software Engineer" or "Developer" is the same as naming a variable just "data". You know the people with such titles are capable of developing software projects. But have they, the success, self care and abundance mindset required to enjoy life and be healthy person we can have good relationships with?.

Do you think so little of our profession? Do you even know what an engineer is? This is one of the reasons I have commented so much on this post; I find it aggravating, for someone that doesn't even understand what a Software Engineer truly is and what should aspire to be; for someone like that to come and speak with authority trying to redefine titles and "mindsets" is just plainly naive and wrong.

Allan, thank you for you comment. But I will not follow your advise to stop. I will stop when I fully define this framework. Maybe it will work maybe it won't. People could find it useful or not. I will do my best and see what happends. Best whishes.
