4/9     What's the difference between a programmer and a software engineer?
        \_ programming is a specialization of engineering. A programmer, like
           any engineer, CREATE things (programs) that IMPROVE the mankind.
           However, an engineer doesn't necessarily know how to program.
        \_ programmers write code, software engineers design it
           \_ so software engineer never code, and programmers never design?
              take a rhetoric class!
        \_ software engineers can make their code run even in hostile
           environments (crappy hardware, limited memory, buggy compilers,
           tethered debuggers that make gdb look high-tech, and so on)
        \_ Hiearchy is this:
                -software engineer
                -programmer
                -hacker
