Blah I hate the term "software developer", not so much because its inaccurate but because its a symptom of the greatest evil to ever face computer science; software engineering. Software engineering's relationship to computer science is like accountancy is to mathematics. Sure they both use maths but a thousand accountants aren't likely to come up with any great proofs (unless theres a genius amongst them who does the hard work, which is generally how I think large projects ever have successes).
- nkohari 19y agoI think of the relationship between software engineering and computer science more like the relationship between architecture and physics. Software engineering describes the application of the theories of computer science to solve real-world problems.
