But are you a programmer who looks up to or down on software developers?
I think in the world of finance “programmer” is the fancy math phd writing math which happens to be expressed in code that makes all the money and is prestigious whereas in silicon valley tech it’s a slur meant to imply that the individual is an infinitesimal step up from doing data entry. I’m guessing you’re just not an ass but the terminology tickles me every time I run across it.
- bee_rider 4y agoI am an ass, but for reasons unrelated to my job title choices :) Actually I am a grad student in an engineering department doing mostly coding stuff, so I guess it is a stretch to even make claim to the less prestigious programmer title. But in any case, that was the one I was thinking of; I wasn’t aware of the finance programmers.
