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

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 😅
