I can certainly add "Developer", I was just looking to keep it as simple as possible with 4 options by filing developers under "tech". Would you still like the options updated?

I guess I didn't make a connection between "Tech Founder" and "Developer", as I didn't, and currently don't plan on, founding anything. EDIT: Grammar FAIL on my part.

Not all who are in tech are founders. Also, I know a couple people who would probably at first try to write themselves in as "Student." Maybe that fits best alongside non-founder techs?

  As a personal data point, I don't think I would mark myself as student even though I am currently a student. (Open question) What do you think differentiates a "student developer" from a "student?"

    Depending on context, specificity (some students may not be student developers) or nothing. In this particular context, likely nothing. At the time I posted, the only options were "[Business|Tech] Founder" and "VC/Investor." I have only ever encountered one student who was also a founder.

    What do you spend more time on? Because, as someone doing both half-time, there isn't enough time to be a full time dev (40+ hours/week) and a full-time student (4-5 classes, 3-4 hours/per class in the classroom, maybe half of that outside).

      Yes, there is enough time. I currently do 35 hours as a dev and 15-20 as a student, and I think I could do 5 more hours of development. My social life would probably suffer a lot, though, as I'd have to work or study more on weekends. And I have no idea whether I should say I'm a developer or a student whenever I have to choose. I tend to go with student because finishing college is my priority, but it's still an annoying question.

        If "student" only takes you 15-20 hours per week, most probably wouldn't consider it "full-time." When I was in undergrad, spending 15-20 hours per week on school would mean about 0 hours spent studying.

Understandable. That was a ignorance on my part, I swapped founder with "Users".
