I preferred the good old newspaper ads where they said "we need a C# developer that's pretty good and doesn't **** everything up all the time. Salary R45k-R60k."

I read the requirements twice and saw no mention of programming languages, education requirements or work experience (never mind not specifying the salary). Is this a legit job post? And what's the difference between a software developer and computer programmer?

A software developer writes the code on paper, and the computer programmer types it into an IDE...

@OP sorry for hijacking your thread. This is my last question.

I was curious about this as I live here so I asked.

Junior position (you know what that means).

Their site runs .asp. So likely classic ASP.

It seems like most of the guys who used to post jobs here regularly have buggered off because they know they going to get ragged about their "top notch, innovative, super awesome fantastic" clients offering market related/competitive salaries and now we are stuck with the one post wonders who have yet to be ragged and then leave.

The mods should make a form that the recruiter needs to fill out that gets moderated and approved and if they put anything but a salary range in the salary box it gets deleted with a nice little e-mail telling them to stop wasting everyones time.

I'm sure there are lots of accountant/CEO/doctor job posts that say "come in and let's see how little you'll accept".

@OP sorry for hijacking your thread. This is my last question.

A "software engineer" is an AI construct designed by software developers and inserted into computers by a computer programmer. They work much like physical world engineers, except instead of driving trains they drive memory buses.

In the off chance you're not familiar enough with the area to get that my posts were facetious: all three titles are essentially the same. Some have perceived seniority over others (engineer > developer > programmer), but mostly no one cares since the variability of the meaning is so high.

It is very bizarre to post more than one title though, which is why there have been comments here. It probably means that the person who wrote or at least did the final packaging of the ad doesn't really know much about the industry at all.
