2/16    Poll, I post on motd regularly and I am a:
        dropout: ...........
        sysadm: .
        developer: .
        programmer: ...
        manager/director: .
        real estate:
        grad student: ...
        ugrad student:
        \_ 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
                 (thanks for the sw engineer suggestion)

2/1     Is there a world writeable jobs directory (e.g. /csua/pub/jobs)?
        A friend of mine is looking for a Senior HW engineer.
        \_ Everyone is looking for a Senior * engr. At that point why even
           say Senior?
           \_ Senior often means you don't want someone straight out of school.
              Of course, in SW that's not really true, and many? Cal

12/2    Help. I've had several jobs and none of them seem to give me
        a good work-and-life balance. While this didn't matter when
        I was young, I'm beginning to realize that I'm reaching an age
        where I really need that balance. What is your workplace like,
        and how do you reach a good work-and-life balance? P.S. I
        don't need tom^H^H^Hgov workers to gloat about cushy gov jobs.
