Guys, I've been programming more or less for about 2 years. And I understand that it is too early to wear and call yourself a super programmer, but still. When can you call yourself a programmer and what would it sound like worthy?

There is no need to put additional concepts directly into the word programmer, they can be written in separate words side by side.
If your main activity is programming - you are a programmer.
If you make money programming - you are a professional programmer.
If you write quality code and release a product that is in demand, you are a good programmer.

If you are writing programs for computers, then you can safely call yourself a programmer :)
But calling yourself a "super programmer" is already more difficult. For everyone, this is something different.
Ordinary rubists consider themselves super programmers, but for me, most of them are just upstarts with strained self-esteem.
Many WordPressers also consider themselves to be super programmers and that they have experience in solving "difficult" tasks. The main thing is not to ask which ones, otherwise all the brains will be eaten by some kind of small thing. Perhaps this is true, because in the context of WordPress they know a lot, but within the framework of programming ...
I can list this endlessly because I myself went through many different stages when I considered myself a "super programmer". BUT the more I learn in this area, the more I understand that I am very, very far away from any titles. All over the world I see not so many "super programmers", even among those who made some popular solutions. I will not give examples :) Just who is a "super programmer" for you? Torvalds? Van Rossum? Brin? If someone is of their level, then I think it is not in this life that we are called with the prefix "super". Well, if some Vasya is from the "super sites" web studio, then perhaps you are already much "super" now :)

For starters, it's more correct to say php - Developer. and then junior, middle, senior.
