Thanks for the article! While some terms are very common and well-defined, like API, some others have different meanings in different companies and communities.
Some of my job titles as a web developer so far: webdesigner, programmer, engineer, technical consultant, software developer, software consultant, web developer. So many different titles while basically still doing the same things.

Exactly! That's part of what I was trying to emphasize in the "developer vs programmer" section. It's confusing for newbies because there are so many terms that blend over each other or are used interchangeably it can all be a bit intimidating.
