I feel like the terms are pretty interchangeable in this case. Developer makes me think of web development, though, whereas programming makes me think of desktop applications. That's just my own personal dichotomy, though.

The same difference as C# programmer and C# developer. No difference.

A "programmer" is probably an antisocial git. A "developer" is probably an annoying twit.

Take your pick. I'm going for antisocial git, myself.

I guess this will clear things up.

Developers

Programmers

Any more questions?

It's not b9. It's (probably) Atli. Didn't you read the caption?

Yea, I wish. No I'm a developer. That ridiculous red and blue outfit is what they make us wear at the office.
