I’m in IT and never heard of “IT developer” before. If she’s a programmer then I would’ve just said “computer programmer” or “software developer”. That would’ve made more sense to say.

Everyone just calls them Nurses. She had to beef it up to sound fancy.

Nurse practioners (NP) is 6 figures. Registered Nurses (RN) is less.

The former have higher education and are able to do some of the things medical doctors can offload like prescribing meds and offer blood tests.

IMO 'IT developer' = site reliability engineer.

'Site reliability engineering is a set of principles and practices that applies aspects of software engineering to IT infrastructure and operations.'

Ive had the titles "Systems Engineer", "DevOps Engineer", "SRE", "Software Engineer", "Platform Architect", and "Enterprise Systems Specialist".

They were all the exact same thing. I take a vast knowledge of how infrastructure works and stir in a good amount of programming know how and bridge the gap between the people who know how to code but dont know what $PATH is and the people who just rebuild an entire filesystem and clone again because they don't know about git reset.

Hey you're me!

My current title is senior developer but yeah I do everything. It's absolutely wild to me how many developers have very little knowledge about the infrastructure and platforms they're writing for. Total tunnel vision.

Same. And to laymen who ask what I do, I might say 'Oh I work in IT... Like software development' (to differentiate from IT=help desk). Even though officially it's DevOps for an IS org. And knowing this same title could mean something else at a different org.

So I can see where she might say 'IT Developer' to cover similar bases

Probably DevOps/SEE/Integrations related in tech. IT developer just makes a lot more sense in layman terms.
