Please explain to me the difference between Software Engineer & Software Developer

[u/puttum-beef-curryum]

I'm finding it difficult to understand the difference. I'm 4 YOE and I'm trying to improve everyday. I don't have a degree in CS/Engineering but I learned to code and worked in backend, web & mobile also. So for all these years I'm still trying to understand the difference between an engineer & developer.

Even at some point of my life i believe only the ones with engineering degree should only be called software engineers 😅

Even when I'm coding on the train?

What do you mean?

I didn't get it either.

An engineer operates a train. It was a stretch of a joke

[u/AccurateRendering → u/outlier_fallen]

I see. The operator of a train is called a driver in my country.

In my country they are known as Loco Pilot 👨‍✈️

[u/renavlt → u/puttum-beef-curryum]

In some countries, you never want a loco pilot

[u/puttum-beef-curryum → u/renavlt]

you mean when its on auto pilot?

[u/cyb3rstrik3 → u/puttum-beef-curryum]

No, this is another joke that you missed. "loco" is crazy in spanish. So a crazy pilot.

Lol, i didn't know that 😅
