Ask HN: Programmers vs. Developers vs. Engineers

I would like to point out that systems that control physical equipment frequently fall into the domain of electrical engineering as much as they do software.

I'm not sure what you mean by this.

I write code that directly controls physical equipment. I work specifically for the Software Development department and we are the only people who have control & responsibility for software. While the electronic aspect of the systems are controlled by our EEs, Software has complete responsibility for the code.
