Software, Programming

First, let's start off with the definitions. A programmer is someone who programs, the same way that a writer is someone who writes. The existence of compiled, running code is all that is necessary from a programmer's perspective. A software engineer is someone who solves an engineering problem. There is a very big difference; most software engineers are programmers, but not all programmers are software engineers.
