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.

Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

Then there's the whole "Architect" title, which is just a fancy way of saying "Designer,"
In my country “Designer” is synonym of “Gay”. So, do we have any Architects here? :-D

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.

I did once have : "Section leader who couldn't be bothered to think up a pretentious name for his section, but who wanted a long job title to annoy the personnel department when the time came to have the business cards printed." It worked, too.

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.

Especially in movies. With blinking progress bars and screens full of quick scrolling figures that freeze on the search result.

I find that regulating the amount of blood in my caffeine stream is the most important activity. Speaking of which, think I need to change the IV drip for a new bag-o-caff.
