SWE vs DEV ?
Dev = developer focusing on writing crud app/ web/ features ... etc Swe = Software Engineer like focusing on solving more complex problems This is not the perfect definition and I know there’s a blurry line. But I just have both offers, just wondering if I go DEV, does the title and experience makes me harder to go for SWE later on ? Also what’s the comparison of career path: salary, future, opportunities ... etc
Fairly interchangeable. I wouldn’t get hung up on something like this. Why wouldn’t you just do what you like? The TC appears to be good either way. I guess whichever has you do the needful.
Titles are shit. Work on cool shit and get paid good money. That's the dream.
Any company that still uses the title developer is signaling "we want to hire shitty crud app coders". So there's that.
Man if I had a nickel for every time I heard this nonsense. Every app at its heart is CRUD one way or another man. So then I take you you don’t develop anything other than maybe a case of dick face?
Dumb.
I didn't know they're different.
Interchangeable.
I’d say “developer” by itself is a broad term that encompasses SWE, unless it’s prefixed like “web developer”
So is web dev limited in terms of career path ? Also, is it that different than app dev or software dev, all are implementing features ?
Not limited, just different. Web dev implies focus on frontend. There’s really a ton of overlap with each title, depending on the actual role
