To clarify: “architect” in this scenario is used metaphorically. Not as in the position of a software architect. Software engineers understand the software as a whole rather than in one specific area. If you are hired as a software engineer, you might only work on the backend but are expected to understand how the entire stack works. Software engineer isn’t a specific role, it’s a description to describe someone who understands an umbrella of things related to programming.
@@netoutube no. a contractor is no more or less like an engineer than a technician. you can recruit a contractor to fill either an engineering or a technican role. in general this whole line of thinking is just a great waste of time, and it really isn't that important who's an engineer and whose a technician. what matters is that you are doing enough cake baking to justify all of the kitchen management you are wasting time on.
Software Architects, from what I've seen, are garbage. How you gonna dictate the architecture when you don't even see the implementation? They are intertwined. There are some unreal things that occur when the architecture is taken out of the hands of the people actually writing the code. Which is also why I don't like this distinction. From what you've defined in the video, the difference between programmer and software engineer is that one is professional and the other one is a hobbyist that doesn't really understand what they are doing.

Unless you apply engineering principles, you're not an engineer. Programmers perform programming, and are not by definition required to follow engineering principles. In my country, calling yourself engineer is only justified by having a formal title from graduating from an engineering course of at least 4 years from a government acknowledged university. Technically speaking, you'd be committing fraud if you do not apply engineering principles but call yourself an engineer. Practically speaking I don't care.

Not true. A software engineer is a general area where you work on the entire stack of software in one way or another. This could be through software architecture (which is a more specialized role). A programmer, is more specifically working on a piece of the software rather than the higher picture.

First time I disagree. For hyped word “architecture” we have Cloud Crew. They are amazing guys for sure, they do “highly loaded systems” - clusterization, load balancing and so on but they don’t know what’s going on with micro services, databases and Elastic configurations which I’m in charge of, not as proficient in Java and overall it’s just a different specific role in the IT sphere. With that being said theirs tasks doesn’t make them “software engineers” and me just a “programmer”
It used to be about discipline. Engineers have standards, write unit tests, document, strive for the software to have a life beyond them. Programmers used to be specialized typists. Today technically very little difference between the two, unless you are and IEEE guy.
I'm pretty sure this is how you end up with teams making choices like: Let's make the fresh out-of-school junior engineer rewrite the entire legacy tech monolith from scratch with all of the state-of-the-art methods & best practices he learned in school. He's probably much more qualified than the senior programmers we have with years of experience with our legacy stack
In the late '80's, my relative was in charge of an international project to take an existing American industrial inventory program and bring to European markets. This is pre-EU, so the program had to be rewritten for each individual country according to their existing systems and laws. His title? Chief Programmer. I think he would consider "software engineer" to be much the same as "sanitation engineer" - y'know, if it makes you feel better... 🤷
Most Job hirings in my country, refer programmers and software engineers as Developers. Funny how they even specified Laravel Backend Developer and yet the job requirements still states about more of a frontend such as JQuery, React, Angular, WordPress lol
I know no one whose job is only to program. Not even the interns or the trainees who just came today. We all need a varied set of skills, not only programming.
This makes me think that I am studying a software engineering degree for nothing, everyone calls themselves software engineers without having those studies.
Fact: in some companies, they really create a level ladder based on these terms. Developer is for inter, fresher, and junior, while Engineer will be for middle and senior. For engineer, they will require more than coding skills, you will need things like clean code, optimizing systems, and giving out software solutions for the task, in some cases, knowledge in networking, server and computer hardware, or even low-level coding or no code are also needed.
Computer Science to other Tech Degrees is like Mechanical Engineering to other Engineering Degrees. Just like Mechanical Engineering can do Electrical, Chemical, Civil, Biomedical, Nuclear and other Engineering.

I posit 90% of software engineers are strictly programmers with a "more impressive" job title. A systems analyst used to perform the roles now labeled programmer and software engineer, plus they had the additional responsibility of the modern-day business systems analyst bridging the business and technology concerns within an organization.
software engineer need to do the hard work and understand all about the app like they even build the whole framework if they need that is why it's so hard to be a software engineer

In my country both are qualified to fix your refrigerator 😂
I posit 90% of software engineers are strictly programmers with a "more impressive" job title. A systems analyst used to perform the roles now labeled programmer and software engineer, plus they had the additional responsibility of the modern-day business systems analyst bridging the business and technology concerns within an organization.
software engineer need to do the hard work and understand all about the app like they even build the whole framework if they need that is why it's so hard to be a software engineer
No one can fix a printer😂

A Software engineer is a programmer and a programmer will eventually one day become a software engineer.
