- theandrewbailey 6y agoDeveloper: builds subdivisions and "develops" real estate. Related: I've come across a handful of programmers that describe themselves as "contractors". So you hang drywall and install toilets?
- lmm 6y agoYou're a contractor if you work on contract. Just as you're a consultant if you consult. (I'm most comfortable with "developer" because that corresponds most closely to what what I do feels like. I don't spend so much of my time actually programming, but very little in software is engineering-like)
