If you identify as a programmer, it's tempting to think that you're more of a programmer by learning more programming languages and to argue about whether HTML and CSS are programming languages.
I've been thinking about identifying as a web developer instead, learning skills from graphic design to search engine optimization -- everything that helps me make better websites. I think some people avoid that label so as not to be confused with people who merely make websites with wordpress. But why? Why are those worth less?
