Lede needs work

[edit]

If a programmer is "person who creates computer programs" then Ada Lovelace was not one as she only wrote part of a program. Suggest: A programmer is one who authors code.

Second paragraph was added but not integrated with the first. Duplication.

Third paragraph opens a floodgate of which languages to include ... people has adding more over time. Just link to computer language.

Programming is a skill. Software developer and software engineer are titles ... or roles or something ... not really skills. I guess programmer could be a title too, but generally not. Consider the CEO saying: we need to hire a lawyer. The person hired would be a lawyer, but their title would not be "lawyer".

In summary, the lede needs a re-write. Stevebroshar (talk) 15:38, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FYI I re-wrote it a while ago. Stevebroshar (talk) 18:36, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
