Am I a programmer?

Question

css

I work as a frontend developer. Can I say if I am asked that I am a programmer, because a mere mortal will not understand what a frontend is?

Answer 1

Well, if without philosophy, then a programmer is a person who works with programming languages.
html and css are markup languages. They have no logic.
js, php, c#, etc. are programming languages.
If your frontend is limited to only html and css, then you are more of a coder than a programmer.
And if with philosophy, then a programmer is, first of all, a person with a way of thinking that is different from the usual way of thinking, who can algorithmize tasks, simplify and universalize. And not the one who "bullies" over the code around the clock.

Answer 2

In no case should you mention the word "programmer". Otherwise, you will have to fight off friends and relatives who ask you to repair your computer or clean it from viruses.

Answer 3

css and html - this is the simplest declarative programming,
this is not "real" programming, a
layout designer is a non-programmer))
there is a similar profession in printing - a layout designer

Answer 4

If you can't answer that question yourself, then definitely not! But the front-end worker may well be one, but you are apparently not at that level yet.

Answer 5

say that you are an IT specialist. If a chick asks, say that you work in the banking sector.

Answer 6

If you write in javascript, then yes.

Answer 7

Learn the basics of PHP and Js (if you haven’t worked with js yet, I recommend getting acquainted) and then you are definitely a programmer.

Answer 8

I say that I am a web developer.
For some reason, I associate a programmer with offline.

Answer 9

Say "web developer".
JavaScript is not a scripting language, but if you actively write in it, you can safely call yourself a programmer. If not, then a typesetter.

Answer 10

It's the same whether Dontsova is considered a writer or not. For some, she is a writer, for someone - a garbage text generator) Technically, of course, she is considered a writer.

Answer 11

Considering that in our realities a system administrator is often called a programmer, then a person who sits at a computer and types something incomprehensible in a code editor is definitely a programmer! It all depends on who you are talking to and for what purpose. As has been repeatedly said above, strictly speaking, a layout designer who works exclusively with HTML and CSS is not a programmer. But in informal communication, in order not to fill the interlocutor's head with specifics that are not at all interesting to him, it seems to me that one can agree with the definition of oneself as a programmer, there is nothing wrong with that.
