Should I call myself a dev if I've only been writing in interpreted languages for 40+ years, i. e. "scripting"? I haven't compiled code since college in the 90s, but I've written so much BASIC, Pascal, Perl, SQL, and PowerShell before moving into stuff like Alteryx and other janky "No Code" solutions where you still end up writing Python or JavaScript if you want to be efficient. Not to mention one off solutions in things like AutoHotKey,BAT files, REXX, bash, and freakin' KiXtart.
I think in loops, subroutines, and if ... then ... else statements. I'm teaching myself jq and JSONPath because automation with REST APIs is easier when you know it.
I have never had a job where I am called a "developer". I've never had a job where writing code was an official part of my duties.
But every IT job I've ever had is made easier—made better—when I am allowed to use and build solutions using coding techniques and interpreters.
And I did it without genAI, just Google, O'Reilly books, and patient coworkers.
