Agree. Similar to a developer vs. SWE.

  there is no difference between a developer and an SWE except a fancy title

    Which one is fancier?

      Software Development Engineer is the one title to rule them all

  Disagree. Project manager is extremely different to product. Dev vs SWE is completely arbitrary

  What do you see as the difference between a developer and a SWE?
  • ipaddr 3y ago
    One is DevOps and one is a programmer
    • _rutinerad 3y ago
      They’re both programmers and you can’t “be devops”.

        The vast majority of my colleagues would say "that person is a devops" instead of "that person does devops", which I don't get at all. I've assumed it's some deeply rooted misunderstanding of language (my colleagues are eastern european) that has taken hold across the entire local industry.

      That didn’t really clarify for me, which is which? What is DevOps to you? (Seems to be different for everyone) The wiki for “programmer” has “software developer, a software engineer, a programmer or a coder” as interchangeable terms in the first sentence.
