I saw a comment on orange reddit about how programmers should not refer to themselves as programmers and it's a trap or something.What do programmers mean by this? you program the computer, you're not engineers.
>>108230670>RedditAdded to my filters thanks faggot
what they mean when they say that is: you should use “developer” and if you don’t know the difference don’t worry about it

>>108230827I find it bizarre that people now use the term "coding" to mean programming. For decades, we used the word "coding" for the work of low-level staff in a business programming team. The designer would write a detailed flow chart, then the "coders" would write code to implement the flow chart. This is quite different from what we did and do in the hacker community -- with us, one person designs the program and writes its code as a single activity. When I developed GNU programs, that was programming, but it was definitely not coding.Since I don't think the recent fad for "coding" is an improvement, I have decided not to adopt it. I don't use the term "coding", unless I am talking about a business programming team which has coders.
