@BenJammin I consider you to be a developer (but not so much a programmer).
There needs to be a word for people who create (develop) apps/sites in
general. For me that word is developer. I don't consider programmer and
developer to mean the same thing. I don't consider either word to imply
competence. I wonder if there aren't other people who make the same
distinction between the two words.
