      Developer vs Engineer you don't notice differences until moving towards embedded systems, where knowing a dozen of frameworks counts nothing but knowledge of physics, electronics and mathematics goes a long way.

        The problem is that Developer and Software Engineer titles can be given to 'high level' roles that don't go anywhere near writing or even reading code. I am retired now and would describe myself has having been a software author. Someone who designed and wrote software.
