\_ difference between developer and programmer?
\_ "Developer" just sounds vague and lame.
\_ Also, there are several careers that use this term,
including real estate, construction, and fundraising as
well as probably a few others.
\_ in the context of this poll, developer should be the same as
programmer. I don't know why the poll writer is distinguishing
them, probably in ACADEMIA for too long, when INDUSTRY is where
you make the big bux.
\_ op had developer, I added "programmer" because "developer"
is such a stupid title. It's like being an "sales associate"
at a store instead of being a goddamn "clerk".
\_ do you think there's a difference between programmer and
software engineer?
\_ In a word, yes.
software developer > computer programmer > developer, coder
> programmer
\_ IMO, best terms to use:
software engineer > software developer > computer programmer
> developer, coder > programmer
