As a freelance back-end developer in Argentina, where tech jobs are non-common yet or all are "build a software" for people, I am often challenged to explain in a simple way what I do.</p> <p>I usually cite an analogy which is <em>"If web development were the automotive industry, I would be in charge of making or optimizing the engine for different cars of many brands."</em></p> <p>I don't think it's totally true, but people tend to understand it much better.</p> <p>So now I want to know.<br> <strong>What is your job and how do you describe it for a non-tech person?</strong></p>
