> I am a COBOL developer

When I started way back when, we had programmers, systems programmers, and systems analysts. "Developers" back then meant real estate, construction, etc.

IDK when the techno title lingo changed. What's wrong with "programmer." Maybe some geeks thought it sounds too geeky, so they found a word to make them sound less geeky.

It's never bothered me to be called a programmer. Maybe I'll become a developer when I change careers to real estate.
