Even early in its history, Microsoft was famous for merging these together into a single role: "developer". I remember reading (but can't find now) an article about how IBM has all these fancy roles like designer, architect, tester and the lowly programmer, and Microsoft's approach of integrating then is what allowed then to succeed over early competitors.
Remember Steve Balmer chanting "Developers, developers, developers" (in about 2000)? That's why.
I'm not saying I totally agree (although I think I do at least a bit), just that this is hardly new.
- loloquwowndueo 1y agoThe “developers” mentioned in the monkey boy song were actually third-party developers. Ballmer wasn’t talking about Microsoft’s internal teams or nomenclature. https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/the-real-story-behind-steve-ballmers-developers-chant-a-concoction-of-microsofts-flawed-just-a-platform-company-culture-and-a-dire-need-to-collaborate-with-third-party-developers https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/the-real-story-behi...

- pseudalopex 1y ago> Even early in its history, Microsoft was famous for merging these together into a single role: "developer". No. Microsoft was famous for having a role called Software Development Engineer in Test. > Remember Steve Balmer chanting "Developers, developers, developers" (in about 2000)? That's why. No. Ballmer's chant was about 3rd party developers.
