software engineer和software developer的区别是是什么？

来自wikipedia的解释，个人认为总体两个的差异不大，一般都会经历软件整体的开发过程。只是各自的说法的角度不一样。这个就看从哪个角度去描述程序员干的事情。

A software engineer is a practitioner of software engineering. Software engineers apply the principles of engineering to the design, development, maintaining, testing, and evaluation of the software and systems that make computers or anything containing software work.

A software developer is a person concerned with facets of the software development process. Their work includes researching, designing, implementing, and testing software.[1] A software developer may take part in design, computer programming, or softwareproject management. They may contribute to the overview of the project on the application level rather than component-level or individual programming tasks. Software developers are often still guided by lead programmers but the description also encompasses freelancesoftware developers.
