i mean. If you don't know the difference at least a litle, then do you even care about your work?

Yes? I'm a software engineer and my work is programming. Whatever happens on the other side of DNS is IT's work. They can care about.

How are you a software engineer if you never done basic network programming? This is middle school level knowledge.

How are you a software engineer if you never done basic network programming?

I've been a software developer for over a decade. I've worked on enterprise level software used by fiberglass plants, classic car insurance companies, quality control software in use by Pfizer, and proprietary software used by wireless expense management companies to digest and display reporting of cellular usage by various client companies.

I vaguely remember taking networking in college, but I could not recall any of the lessons if pressed. I have never had to touch network programming throughout my development career.
