well i guess i should have paid for that schooling so i knew the technical terms.

in my opinion if you call yourself a programmer and aren't involved in the entire development life cycle of the software you're useless. fucking sharepoint can generate code.

conversely, if you're a software engineer and you can't program, i would also consider you useless.

i guess i just always assumed since working for myself that other other places operated the same way i do. there is a problem and software needs designed, so you sit down and figure out the scope of the project then make it happen and test it.
