@1989 Hacker is great... Coder is not..

@1989 Problem solving is important right ? Why does it matter until you are holding yourself responsible when it breaks .

I am the author of that article..:( Anyway people around me irritated me a lot by calling developer jobs as coding jobs and i just found it idiotic and irritating.. Hence the article..

By the way ..Was it too long..🤔

@aEEEdev I liked the structure. It wasn't too long.

@electrineer Thanks..

"Semantics. Get back to work, coder; there's code to be coded!"

@wizzzard I am at my melting point reading this comment..

@Brosyl Wordpress gives me stats. Thats why i am still sticking with it..

I can understand the connotation that "coder" has for you. It does have a newbie feel to it.

In my opinion, "developer" is a fine word but maybe self-proclaiming with "software engineer" isn't modest. Maybe. 🤔

As someone who used to teach CS at a college (and I hated being called "Professor" because it made me feel old and I don't have a PhD, yet), I'd like to comment on and agree that some schools are definitely lacking in preparing CS students for working as a dev in the industry.

@sleepyDevHead If modest is what i am shooting for.. Yes.. Developer is fine.. But the problem is with the expert developers , who think calling software development as coding is cool. By this the entire industry, is degraded, even for those who actually deserve being called Software Engineer.

Side note:

In many countries, "engineer" is a protected title, which requires a specific education to qualify for, and in some cases calling yourself an engineer can also bring increased legal liabilities.
