So which one is a "software development engineer"?
That depends on the country, and whether engineer means anything there.
Banging out code is the core of it, to be sure, but it's not what most of us spend our time doing, unless you throw in "design" and "testing" into "programming" - which is fine, but then we're back into people skills being part of it.
Right, but we've all worked for places that had people who made other people want to leave, but that you couldn't fire because they were indispensable because of their brilliance. It's not a good plan, but it is a common one.
