What’s the difference?
Programmer just writes code.
Software engineer designs the system that is to be coded.
It’s like the difference between an architect and a construction worker.
Edit: or maybe structural engineer and construction worker would be better. Architect may be more like a UX designer.
Speaking of which, systems architect is something else a programmer can be.
My work says I'm a, "security architect II". I believe he physical world manifestation of that would be... the guy that plans where the security guards should stand? Actually, I'm "II" so I'm probably more like the guy who gets escalated to when the guys that do do that need help 🤷
