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 have often used ‘software developer’ to focus on systems with off the shelf hardware & ‘developer’ for novel hardware and associated software. I think this will become more common with RISK-V. Are there common ways of distinguishing library developer v library consumers?

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!

Perhaps, but your answer was clearer. Silver star for me, gold star for you. I’m just happy to have a star.
