Good question: I've been one or the other for 19 years and I dont know what the difference is. When I tell non-tech people I am a "software developer" they think I'm some kind of "designer" rather than programmer - when I tell them I am a software "engineer" they think I pull cables for a living... Mostly I just tell them I am a programmer.
