Meh. I've never seen that work for actual software development, but I guess it depends on where you work/what sort of job you do. I've seen it work for sdets

I've seen it work for sdets though so who knows.
- falcolas 11y agoErr, SDET _is_ a professional software developer. It's in the title! Working in a non-development group doesn't somehow make you not a software developer.
- mildbow 11y agoThey aren't the same job, regardless for how similiar the titles are. My point was the skills required in architecting a solution vs testing a given specific solution differ. So, while you can more easily fall/move into a automated testing role, it's harder to do so into a core programming job. The bar for moving into the latter, rightly or not, very much higher.
