That's funny -- I am a web developer, and when people ask what I do I say "I build websites"... which is invariably followed up with "oh so you're a designer".
(Then I follow up with "no, I'm more involved in the plumbing and wiring", and by then they are usually bored).
- NotQuantum 9y agoComing out of college I was surprised just how big of a separation there is from web designer / developer, since I was so accustomed to doing both for school projects.
- ufmace 9y agoI've been responding to this type of thing with "I make websites do things. Send email, show blog posts, that sort of thing."

- iakitao 9y agoMade me laugh, I'd forgotten that term. Such gravitas... the Webmaster. Reminds me of IE 2 and Java applets (and trenchcoat wearing tragics that thought they'd found power).
