Progaming

Actually it’s Programing, although that’s not really much better.

That brings the question to mind, what’s the difference between coding, computer programming or programming and software engineering? Is there actually a difference at all?

Coding and programming is about writing the code. You get on a computer and type away.

Writing code is just one part of a bigger whole. It takes more than writing code to make software. Someone needs to think about the architecture, infrastructure, planning, management, maintenance, deployment, r&d… That’s software engineering. It’s a much broader concept than just editing text files.

The aspect of software engineering makes sense per your definition. That brings the question of who a software developer is but… Coding and computer programming are entirely different though interrelated. One is an integral part of the other with the other being the bigger picture

I prefer the term Software Engineererer, myself

Software engineering is not only the programming part, though.

Not about preference. More of terminologies and their right appropriation
