Ditto that - I'm the Architect, Developer, Documentation Writer, QA/QC department, while from time to time I'm also the database admin, the support guy, and the magic fraking 8 ball. I am always introduced by my employer to others as the Development Manager/Team Leader, to put them off the scent that the only team is in fact just me, myself and I..
While this has it's advantages when it comes to product direction (no-one to debate architecture with) and QC (no-one's bad code to debug), it definately has its disadvantages when it comes to milestones and deadlines. Unfortunately the boss often forgets that if I spend half my day answering emails, there's only half a day left for coding. He also tends to dismiss feature creep as something that might impact my productivity and timeliness of deliverables.
Come to think of it, I'd much prefer to be a part of a team. The one man band thing sucks. I need a new gig.

Not necessarily[^]; it depends upon the type and grade of, er, muck you have to clean up.

come on... its a codeproject tradition (at least when theres a fill in the blank slot) to put clistctrl as one of the answers

Of course! CListCtrl is a suitable answer for all questions! It is even more accurate than answering "42".
In fact, you can answer arbitrary questions with CListCtrl . E.g.:
Q: "Do you love me?"
A: "CListCtrl "
Q: "What time is it?"
A: "CListCtrl "
Q: "My hovercraft is full of eels?"
A: "CListCtrl "
And, of course
Q: "How to display a list of data with icons in MFC?"
A: "CListCtrl "

... given that I have all of the departmental sh!t jobs: I write the installers for our products, I write all of the public-facing documentation (public means the rest of the company), I keep the build machine and our automated build process working, plus I'm the SourceSafe data base administrator/guru/guy-with-the-plunger-when-the-DB-gets-scrogged .

I find the choices limited...
I decide what we need, design it, build it, program it if it needs programming, and fix it if it's broke. Who needs specialists?;P

but an "architect" is some one who designs houses. I would never describe myself as that, I don't need the ego trip

Amen. My father is an architect and he doesn't know anything about software development.
Well, most "software architects" don't either

I am developer/architect by poll. I research new algorithms, design software, and impliment the design by writing code. Since I am in an R&D field it is hard to split these since I have to develop the algorithm before I code it, which sometimes takes a long time depending on the new capability needed. So months I am primarily an architect, some months primarily a developer. Even asking for a majority is difficult. But I put developer mostly because I would rather not be considered ONLY an architect.

I guess they should have had an analyst option :p

I still prefer one-man shop. Documentation, design, coding, teaching, presentations.

I also was split by this poll. However I would more likely fall into the Student/Developer. I am an Intern with the company I'm currently employed by, but one that has been developing business applications for about 2 1/2 years.
I put student because I think I know a little bit about a little bit right now but I learn something new every time I log onto my machine.

If that day ever stops, seriously look for why. I have learned something new every day of my life. There are those who think I know everything, I promise I do not, far from it. The day I stop learning, the funeral will be the same week.
