I'm in tech and "computer programmer" has always sounded to me like a grandma phrase. Like how all gaming consoles are referred to as "the Nintendo" or "the game station".

Has there been a programmer for anything other than a computer

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yes. And, by the way, "computer" was once the name of a profession, carried out by people.
