[Question] What exactly does developer do? How is it different from a coder?

[Fruit Pie~]

In RO private servers, it usually means you know how to change a few lines here and there.

"Hey dudes! I want to join the GM team for PrivateRO as a lead senior source-mod developer! I made a text game in Python once and I know basic Java from community college classes. C should be easy! All you need is printf and numbers, right?"

An actual application might be worse, though.

EDIT : Optionally, he wants to apply for server development but all he knows is the NPC script language.

It is more significant to understand data structures, algorithms, memory hierarchy/management, standard libraries, and discrete mathematics just for the basics. The rest is being able to go through manuals, use proprietary code, and working with other smart people.

You're practically expected to be able to pick up any programming language immediately anyways.

So if you see that application and interview that person with some jargon, you'll immediately know what you're dealing with.

@Both guys: BED, NOW! NO DINNER FOR BOTH!!

Yes, I already understand that point. You've made it multiple times already. Why continue to bring it up? Instead of worrying about me, worry about yourself.

Edit: Bue, stop being a keyboard warrior and get a hobby. Preferably one that doesn't involve discussing Cookie every time you see anything related to me.

Other than spending my free time tinkering with Ragnarok, I also engage in social outreach to help people with their sense of self-worth.

So I guess it is no coincident, that you think I am talking about you rather than talking to you.

wording is important! at nintendo they get to put "code ninja" on their business cards

[Mr Chow]

Thanks for the reply guys!

That cleared out my mind, and surprisingly in another sense messed it up too.

Now I realize that people who has the name cookie are legends!

I'll just keep it simple for me..

Developer are the one who thinks of something NEW, for example.. Developing a new features for the server!
Coder, like their name... They're pretty much one who coded the features that the developer wanted...

On extra note however, developer need to be able to read a code since want it or not, you can't trust everyone... Always have to check on the doors!
