    I think "Developer" just sounds more like a person who creates things... While a "Programmer" sounds like someone who just fills in the blanks

    Yeah, I've always wanted to dodge bullets. It looks like fun. Personally, though, I'd do it without the shades... Seems like it'd make it harder to see them clearly.

        Dear Sirs, I see this forboding warning up top "DO NOT POST PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS HERE," so I will warily proceed. If I were to think of a title for myself, why might I choose `Developer' over `Programmer' or vice versa? What do they mean? More than their denotation, what do they connote? Thanks.

                                    Pretty much what everyone else says. A Developer develops. They take concepts and ideas and formulate them into systems, processes and code. Programmers just basicaly code, normally to a spec. Don't think round the box or the consequances of a problem. Everyone starts as a programer :D but only some become true developers.

                                      :-D C'est bonnet blanc et blanc bonnet. and coder = converts pizza into code, and used printed requirements/specifications as scratch paper, or for cleaning desk from lost pizza pieces. hacker = can convert anything into anything. Especially in movies. With blinking progress bars and screens full of quick scrolling figures that freeze on the search result.

                                        programmer = converts specification and pizza into code. developer = converts requirements and pizza into code. architect = converts requirements and nail varnish into specifications. FFY. :)

                                          Don't forget the coffee/caffeinated soft drink. Requirements conversion requires lots of liquid caffeine.
