How do you differentiate between a developer and an engineer?

Fairly sure they mistyped, and "engineers" should be "designers". Otherwise that is indeed a very confusing statement.

There's usually multiple developers/engineers for every designer on a team, so bringing them in to the product with features that require full privileges would certainly be a lucrative move for Figma.

Yup, I meant to say there are more engineers than designers. Figma was great because we didn't have to worry about seat count cost for engineers.
Networking.

Send the ENG a SYN packet, and if they ACK They are an engineer... if they /dev/null your packet, its a DEV.
