What are you on about? Seeing a line of code doesn't make you a developer.

I feel like I only need to reply to this, because this is the second time I've directly replied to something you said using your own words, to then have you say those words don't matter.

It also completely ignores the point I was making that some "QA" code, some pick through code, some may not understand it at all, but why are any of those not classed as developers?

You design a character? Not a developer. You test the game? Not a developer? You develop the story and draw the art? Not a developer. None of that is writing the game's code. You can be both a developer and an artist, for sure, if you write the game's code.

Oh I see, so you are indeed only calling programmers developers. Absolutely unhinged take.
