If I may digress a bit, I've always wondered why one is more inclined to say 'systems programmer' rather than 'systems developer'.

  The web is constantly being developed and changing, a system does not evolve as quickly and is not in a constant state of development. That would be my guess anyways.

    I always thought that the choice of "developer" versus "programmer" swung on how multidisciplinary you had to be in order to be effective.

      I completely agree. I call myself a "web developer" because that's the most accurate description of what I do. "web programmer", "software engineer", and "systems engineer" are all too narrow. On top of programming, I also do system ops, ui design, customer service (and client service), project management. Developing a web site takes a lot more than programming, especially if the team is small.
