Programmer oder coder?

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

Just read this posting:
I recently had a programmer ask me “what’s a blog”?


Now let’s get things straight:

Someone working with computers for a living and not knowing what a blog is can not be a programmer.

A coder - maybe. For me a coder is like the person at the writing services - you give them very detailed instructions what to do and they follow your instructions. Coders also suffer from the CP (copy & paste) syndrome.

A programmer on the other hand is on top of new technology. (S)He will tell you things like “you ought to design” and “design saves money by planning ahead” and “separate data from presentation”. Programmers try to solve problems fast, with low costs and minimized risks. They spent a lot of their time thinking (incredible, isn’t it?) and educating themselves.
