Re: "Boo, unfair! I am creative too!"
Fine, probably you are. But creative coders in the context of
this article do slightly different tasks and their job requires
a different mindset, than conventional software engineering.
I know, I do both.
I also find it funny when people start arguing on
the meanings of the word "hacker". Obviously it has
to mean what I do, (otherwise I would loose my cool).
Except when a potential investor is comparing a
"Software Architect" to "just a hacker",
in which case I am obviously the first one.
Stop being jealous, and define yourself with acts,
instead of words. No one will argue with that.
- bhntr3 14y agoThe company I work at now doesn't make the distinction and has plenty of coders who "do both." I also do both. "Creative" is still a bad name. When your application evolves and the names of your services no longer match their business purposes, it's a good practice to update the naming to increase clarity. The same should be true of your departments and job descriptions. Keeping a name even though it doesn't make sense just because it's traditional and an industry standard is pretty lame. I doubt you'd find much support for that kind of thinking here.
