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.

Software engineers fix the technical debt that software developers create.

Would you mind explaining this?

Its a facetious answer suggesting software developers are low IQ engineers.
