Now there's a term I haven't heard in a while. Not a bad description for a very general conversation but still not very domain specific if you're referring specifically to work in high tech

For a general term to describe our industry in web and related I think that's a much better General description best I've heard yet good one!

Extremely common answer especially down here in Arizona where we don't need any more of that kind of development thank you very much despite the fact it goes on all the time yet where's the water?
I think you may be on to something our defenses are often far more fight, flee or freeze then is needed for many situations even at a time in history when life has been most stressful. And we don't learn good coping skills out of the gate. Doesn't put us the best of places.
So now I'm really confused because solving a problem is not developing a problem so there's a dissonance in my wordy head LOL

I'm truly sorry to hear that. About 15 years ago or so I started entering a period of time where lost became the norm and almost all my family and friends started leaving I've named this period of Life the density of death. Hang in there my friend I hope you're doing okay today.

It's the cocktail party fallacy. "What do you do?"
Rely on context, define domain, role, and be specific. It ain't easy and I am very bad at it myself. I process language as literal, concrete. But write and speak in a bizarre combination of abstraction, education, and street.

Yes. You just did it yourself. Define the domain and the role. The domain anchors the term in far clearer ways. Library dev, library consumer. Alone, there is no defined domain. "Developer" is an abstraction as a result. Gold star for answering your own question!

Hmmm. Interesting because it suggests that developer in context of tech is the equivalent of a programmer. Is that really true do ya think?

What do you consider the definition of the word developer to be when it is used without a specific area of development? Example "I am a developer"

I don't know. My entire Flickr account was deleted somehow, I lost thousands of photos. It likely was my fault in that during the worst of treatments my lawyer failed to pay multiple accounts, stole money, was disbarred, and is now dead. I am heartbroken.
