OK, let's go to the source then and ask Claude:
What's the difference between a software developer and a software engineer?
The honest answer is that in most day-to-day contexts, the distinction is more about company culture and title preference than actual job duties. A "software developer" at one company might do more rigorous engineering work than a "software engineer" at another.
- dust-jacket 5mo agoYeah at my last job we A/B tested hiring ads for the same role with developer/engineer alternatives. It's just not the distinction some people believe it to be.
- elAhmo 5mo agoRather than jumping to ask Claude something, maybe you should've read things more carefully. I said difference between a _programmer_ and a _software engineer_ (or _software developer_, it is irrelevant in this context).
