Alexander says
"It means that this "programmer" is not programmer indeed, but software
engineer. The combination of "careful and well written implementations" and
"completely absurd algorithms" is characteristic for substantional part of

Well I can't easily tell if this is just a language problem (maybe the

Probably the latter -- but in any case it is certain that there is no
distinction of this kind in the terms as normally used here. You can
find incompetent and competent people under all labels!
