Programming Modalities

tip

This is a simplified categorization of the multitude of ways you might be working as a dev

The difference between these for me is how focued your work on a requiremetn that the average business person would correlate with the requiremetns of the bussiness, vs. technical requirements.

Systems Programmer​

Creating operating systems, databases, stateful services, all that jazz Low level - C++, Rust, Go

Framework or Library Programmer​

  • Framework - code that uses your code.
  • Library - code that your code uses.

Application Developer​

Our work and our job is to:

  • Make the company more money
  • Reduce liability

"Application" means to "apply" technology to solve a business requirement.
