Don’t Call Yourself a Developer If You Don’t Code

Sometimes it's important - I would never go around calling myself "Doctor." In the US we don't have the engineering distinction that countries like Canada do, so I don't mind when people call themselves whatever they want in software.

I always feel like the authors of posts like these suffer from a terrible lack of confidence.

I'm reminded of a saying that I'm going to butcher: "At the bottom of the ladder, the rungs are closer together, and the distinctions between them more important."

Confidence ain't the problem here; it is polluting the market with broken extensions, underpricing services that have been estimated by Lego builders first, and being unable to find an actual developer in the wide pool of people with no skills. The bigger picture is that bothers me, as stated in the bullet list with problems in the post.
