Submission + - Developer or Software Engineer? Can it influence your work? (metaltoad.com)
ctrahey writes: Many of us disregard the impact of our titles on various aspects of our lives, both professional and otherwise. Perhaps it's appropriate to ask two questions about the difference between a couple titles familiar to the ./ community: Developer vs Software Engineer.
- What are the factors to consider in the appropriate use of the titles?
- (more interesting to me), what influence might the use of these titles have on the written code?
Have you observed a difference in attitudes, priorities, or outlooks in talent as a corollary to their titles?
