Quoted from TigerLaw:Graphics are not code?
Graphics are definitely NOT code, just as audio is definitely NOT code.
People that do animations/art or sound are artists. Coders are engineers.

Broad strokes.
Not everyone is interested in specifics of this stuff. Most people’s eyes glaze over when specifics of software and design are discussed, so its hard to know where to draw that line.
On top of that, many artists can code (maybe even well) but we all have different things we are ‘better’ at or like working on more... an EE may be able to do mechanical work, but they would probably defer to someone who specializes in that.
Quoted from northvibe:Idk, a programmer and a software engineer have decently different roles.
In my experience, no business actually makes this distinction (other than academia): in a company that demands “software engineering”, everyone (including those without specific training in it) are expected to adhere to a set of specific design requirements/processes. In those that don’t demand it, everyone is just a software/IT person.
Quoted from northvibe:Kind of a huge distinction. One just creates code on a platform, one creates the platform, how it will function, the future etc. the roles are very different some businesses may mix them but when mixed the inexperienced software programmer is a bad fit to create... we have dealt with many software and hardware projects with these issues.
I would recommend we take this convo to a separate thread, as ‘the eyes glazing over’ I mentioned earlier is occurring here. I love talking about it, as it isn’t just what I do for work - it is fascinating to me in all aspects.
