I’m not a Software Programmer!
I spend my working days analyzing, designing, writing, and testing software. But I’m not a software programmer, I’m an engineer. Just like a writer isn’t a typist, I’m not a programmer. A writer’s job is to communicate effectively, not to type. But typing on a keyboard is what a writer does when working. Programming is a tool I use in my job to create software, but the goal is to make the software to fit a given need.
Just don’t call me a programmer, my title is software engineer. Just wanted to get that straight.
