For years my wife was a stay at home mom - if people asked what I did, I said I was a &quot;go to work dad&quot;.  When pressed further, I often said techie, or nerd or worked on computers and electronics.<p>I&#x27;ve been a CTO twice (at relatively small companies) but if I ever said that, people might get the impression I&#x27;m one of those MBA guys (can&#x27;t have that).
