Technically, yes. But because the word had been misused for so long, it has taken on the meaning of a developer/sysadmin combination role.
The word “irregardless” also got misused long enough that it became acceptable.
irregardless
irregardless /ˌɪrɪˈɡɑːdləs /
▸ adverb non-standard regardless:
the photographer always says, irregardless of how his subjects are feeling, ‘Smile!’
irregardless, the song is a fine piece of work.
– ORIGIN mid 19th century : probably a blend of irrespective and regardless.
Irregardless means the same as regardless, but the negative prefix ir- merely duplicates the suffix -less, and is unnecessary. The word dates back to the 19th century, but is regarded as incorrect in standard English.
