I am a programmer. I am not a developer. I write little programs and tools that make my job and my peers' jobs easier. I write bits of software for fun when tinkering. I like playing with different programming languages. I do not do well in IDEs. I don't collaborate well with developers on large projects. I think part of it is because developers have a mindset I don't usually find myself in. I'm a systems and information security guy by trade, though. People like me are in a strange spot where we usually have to know how to automate and code, but we're not expected to develop applications for the public to use.
