Where do you put the line between them and “purist” SWEs?
Even Things like
#include <stdio.h>
already make you a gluer.
- username90 6y agoIt isn't possible to draw a hard line, no. But people tend to identify themselves as one or the other, just ask them whether technical or social is the most important aspect of their work. Gluing things together requires you to communicate more, like adding a library or depending on an api or reusing code from another team. Building things yourself is just code, less questions so less social work but more technical work.
