It wasn't that long ago (in society scale, the scale that most of these people's clients reckon with, not on technology scale that most readers here will use) that you couldn't just configure up an interactive publishing workflow, something these folks deliver, and would have to hire someone to "develop" it to your needs. I think it is that context in which they are called developers.
- learc83 11y agoThat's the case for almost everyone who uses any software to build anything. Not too long ago, an off the shelf solution didn't exist for anything, so you had to hire someone to build it from scratch. By that definition, almost anyone should be called a "developer". 20 years ago, you needed to be a developer to set up a small homepage. Now my grandma can do that with Facebook, but I'm not going to call her a "developer" just because she's doing something that used to require one.
