You are a real faggot, OP. You can code as much as you want, OP, but you will always be a faggot.
>>106630609Coding makes you a coder.Programming makes you a programmer.
>>106630609No, it doesn't. You're a scriptfag, just like me.
>>106630609You are a programmer, but you are missing a lot of institutional knowledge that enterprise developers have. With your background you could close that gap. Sadly it's a very bad time to make that career jump due to intense historical lack of supply and tremendous demand causing wages to inflate over the decades. The supply line is finally crossing the demand line, and chaos is erupting. Stay with infrastructure. It has a brighter career future. Augment your job with more programming skills.

>>106630609No. A real programmer would just have AI write such a simple little script.
>>106630609stick to scripting and automation. it's way more fun than CRUD webshit drudgery
