Ain't that the truth. Though, each one of those is a steal ! Wish I could find programmers that cheap, much less a developer.

Of course not. Where I work I have a fixed salary I do not work by the hour.
Sometimes an external job is commissioned by the hour, other times a quota is established

The difference between a programmer and a developer: A recruiter's guide

Get to know the difference between a programmer vs developer. What sets programmers and developers apart? Is one only focused on coding?
devskiller.com
”If a programmer is like a reasonably confident cook, a software developer is more like a professional chef. Not only can they cook to a high standard, but they can take a more creative and conceptual approach to what they’re making. This means finding out what their target market wants, creating a plan for how to make it, and coming up with a series of instructions that they can give to other cooks. Chefs do this for restaurants and software developers do this for programmers.”

What Sandman said. Programmers write code. Developers are active in the entire process ... from conception thru sales and tech support.

As a one man show, we need to be in between.

Depends on how many hours he can talk but doubt he could contribute much on the progress or completion of the project.

Is simple. The programmer programs, the developer develops and the software engineer instead ingenuity.
Keep in mind that there is also a computer engineer who computerizes

As mentioned in the article shared by Sandman, a Developer is the person who knows almost every aspect of the software development, able to program like a programmer, do project management like a project manager and also provide consultation like a software engineer. Software engineer, project manager or scrum master are just redundant. Unless I tell my clients this project is a big project and I need a big team!

I prefer to work alone or exceptionally with a few people with very well defined tasks that do not overlap.

I believe (perhaps wrongly) that the more people there are, the more confusion there is. Everyone has a different method and point of view and we have often seen it in the forum how technical opinions can be radically different and opposite.

Many terms coined today to define the many professionals in the IT sector are often almost overlapping and coincident. Some homework can be done by multiple professionals and I think it creates confusion when you have to choose a professional for a project.

To mention just a few

In Italy we would say 'but eat this mozzarella ...' now I don't know how to translate this expression to convey the concept that is meant here
