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"

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

Now that's a strange and intriguing sense I think it's more meaningless than it has meaning it could mean so many different things think about it very interesting response

I solve computer problems you weren't aware you had, by means you don't understand.

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 think programmer and developer seems to range from code monkeys to true CS. I prefer the term technologist. You can be an architect, philologist or artist and apply any type of technology to your field of study or profession.

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!

A developer is someone who builds buildings as an investment. Either to sell them off or rent them out.

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