Software Developer vs Software Engineer — Differences: Bogus or Real?

Software Developers vs Software Engineers

Personally, it pisses me off. Every time I see an article on this topic, my emotional bank account gets robbed. They are all about SEO. Inappropriate keywords squeezed into tiny sentences just to get better rankings. No intent to entertain or enlighten the reader whatsoever. Sometimes, such articles can even be outright wrong.

And even though the purpose of this blog post can be to generate traffic, I tried to make it more of a meaningful rant than a lifeless academic essay.

So, let’s see how you feel by the time you are done reading this paper.

Without further ado:

Since there are no proper interpretations of both terms, a lot of people use them interchangeably.

However, some companies consider these terms as job titles.

The general “programmer-developer-engineer” trend goes along the lines of:

• A programmer is someone who knows how to code, understands algorithms and can follow instructions. Yet, it doesn’t go further in regards to responsibilities.
• A developer is someone superior to the programmer. Except for coding, they also do design, architecture, and technical documentation of the software component they are building. They might be referred to as leaders, but not necessarily.
• Finally, an engineer implies that you are the real deal. You’ve graduated with a degree, have some tech knowledge, and preferably experience… and you are capable of designing a software system (a combination of software components your peons, the programmers, have built). You’re like an overseer. You can see the bigger picture. And it’s your responsibility to clearly explain that “picture” to your team.

Science and Engineering in Software Architecture

We are passing through tough times, “The moment everything changed” with COVID-19, quarantine, people trying adapt their day to day, companies not prepared to work remotely… On top of that, one thing that I have seen is a lack of science in different aspects. Lots of assumptions, lack of data and a complete chaos.

In engineering, one thing that we don’t want is chaos — WHAT?! But what about chaos mindset, chaos engineering? — don’t get me wrong, as engineers , we accept chaos and live with it, but build stable and resilient systems on top of it.

According to wikipedia, “Scientists study things by looking at them very carefully, by measuring them, and by doing experiments and tests. Scientists try to explain why things act the way they do, and predict what will happen” and also “Science uses mathematics and logic, which are sometimes called ‘formal sciences’.”, “ Science produces accurate facts, scientific laws and theories”. And as you well know, against facts there are no arguments.
Science is about exploring, experimentation, discovery and, of course, data. Please, data. Let’s base our propositions, our argues and discussions on concrete things…
