Ask HN: How to call straightforward devs?

1 points by gduverger 7y ago ↗ HN

As I think about the subset of software developers who are building small to medium-scale web products, care about users but not as much about engineering (or at least want it abstracted), I am trying to find an accurate, empowering, and fun designation for it. Any suggestions: straightforward devs, nonchalant devs, effective devs, lean devs…?

Pragmatic?

I normally refer to product-focused people as software developers, and CS-focused people as software engineers. People who just do tickets they're given and aren't CS-focused or product focused I would just call programmers.
