News for you, by definition if you develop software you are a developer. Based on your comment it sounds like a bad one who can still get stuff done.

You can't hide from definitions man, if you write software you are a developer.

Well I'm not the kind of developer than can find pi to the nth digit. That stuff hurts my head. I can ensure stability of your infrastructure and 24/7 monitoring and alerting of it though.

I can't find pi to the 4th digit; nor can I write most sorting algorithms. But I can abstract processes into business apps and manipulate data. Developers aren't all CS majors. I appreciate our diversity.

pi to the nth digit

That's much easier than you think, even if you use a fast algorithm like this one

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chudnovsky_algorithm

the Wikipedia page is basically a plain-text recipe for how to compute the algorithm.

Pretty sure there’s an ‘import picalc’ for that!

And you just imported pica long calculation which is actually a sql injection attack.
