The difference between a Computing Scientist, a Programmer, and a Developer

The debate between the dif­fer­ence between a Com­put­ing Sci­en­tist, a Pro­gram­mer, and a Devel­oper will rage on until the end of time. But dur­ing that time, I found this great article:

Read it, I think it lays out the dif­fer­ences quite nicely. I would say that I would fall under the cat­e­gory of both a Pro­gram­mer and a Devel­oper. Where do you fall under? Or do you com­pletely dis­agree with these definitions.
Prof. Liest­man, I know you’re read­ing these blogs, I’d really like to know what you think!

    “In their per­sonal time [Devel­op­ers] engage in activ­i­ties that have noth­ing to do with pro­gram­ming, devel­op­ing, or com­puter science.”

    I guess that makes me a devel­oper lol
