This is because it usually takes place in a rush of creativity that is best not slowed by the friction of doing things properly. Hacking is often, but not always, associated with poor quality.A “coder” is basically a synonym for programmer.
#COMPUTER AND PROGRAM HACKER LINGO FOR STORYWRITING SOFTWARE#
This article specifically deals with the software type.
There is a broader type of Hacker which can apply to any field, not just computers.
Solving problems using code is a superpower by itself. Programmers solve problems using code, a Hacker is a creator/tinkerer, and a Developer is a formally trained programmer who doesn’t just solve problems but does so in a structured and disciplined way that was probably learned formally. These include things like performance, maintainability, scale, robustness, and (ideally) security. They don’t just solve problems or create things, but do so in accordance with a set of design and implementation principles. A Developer is a formally trained programmer.The term software engineer is mostly synonymous with developer. It also applies to people who tinker with things in a way that extends or changes their functionality, or otherwise uses them in ways that weren’t originally intended. This is the original, and purest definition of the term, i.e., that you have an idea and you “hack” something together to make it work. In this context, it’s someone who makes things by programming computers. They can have a wide range of skill levels-from just being “ok” with basic scripting to being an absolute sorcerer with any language. A Programmer is someone who can solve problems by by manipulating computer code.Most descriptions I’ve seen are flawed in at least one serious way, so I wanted to assemble my own-hopefully more accurate-definitions. There is often spirited discussion and debate about the differences between Programmers, Hackers, and Developers.
