I am a generator creator on it, and I just wanna know if it is coding or programming since it also uses HTML 🙂

    “Programmer” isn’t a protected title, so everyone and their grandma can be a programmer. You don’t even need any actual experience or knowledge on the topic.

    Just don’t go around calling yourself a “software engineer” or anything like that, as it’s a protected title and therefore comes with some prestige, but also means that people expect you to have certain skills.

      Protected where and by whom? Most software engineers aren’t PEs.

        Ah, I was wrong. I just checked and it appears that engineer isn’t protected per default (as you stated).

        I was thinking about “Civilingeniør” (literal translation would be “civil engineer”, but that is no faithful translation), which everyone who graduates a MSc. in engineering in Denmark receives, and which is at least protected locally.

        Thank you for calling me out.

          No worries. We have a similar situation here in nl where “ingenieur” is a protected title, but professional bodies have shown zero interest in policing all the “engineers”.
