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

Exactly without the definition of the domain is an extremely ambiguous term! Yet it's used every day and people seem very confident that they know that it's understood what the heck they do and they could be digging up the Grand Canyon.
Dude you're so far ahead of the game! Punch Cards anybody?

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

That never happens in Arizona never so I really don't know how to relate ;-)

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?
For me that's problem solving which is more a decomposition than a creative activity. Interesting
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.

Replying to @halftroll
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!

I'd LOVE that, thank you soooo much!
Replying to @HackingBaseball
Hmmm. Interesting because it suggests that developer in context of tech is the equivalent of a programmer. Is that really true do ya think?
