Yes,

We program.  But in the grand scheme of things, for demographic purposes
we are considered developers, not just MM but to the computer world.
Programmers beat us to the programming way back when computers were
invented.  They got first rights to use that name in generic terms.

We don't do what they do.  We program web pages/applications, but are
considered 'developers'.

I'm glad you feel so strongly about it, but I think it doesn't really
matter and you definitely shouldn't be losing any sleep over it.  That's
just me.

Subject: Re: programmer vs. developer


In MMs mind, a programmer is one who uses a compiled language like Java
or C++. A developer is someone who uses a scripting language like CF.
This is a totally artificial distinction and one I reject on every
level. I program. So do you. We're programmers.
