  Computer programmers
In practice, programmers often are referred to by the language they know, such as Java programmers, or by the type of function they perform or environment in which they work—for example, database programmers, mainframe programmers, or Web programmers.
Programmers in software development companies may work directly with experts from various fields to create software—either programs designed for specific clients or packaged software for general use—ranging from games and educational software to programs for desktop publishing and financial planning.
Programmers are at a much higher risk of having their jobs outsourced abroad than are workers involved in more complex and sophisticated information technology functions, such as software engineering, because computer programming has become an international language, requiring little localized or specialized knowledge.

  Programmer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A programmer or software developer is someone who programs computers, that is, one who writes computer software.
Programmers often have or project an image of individualist geekdom, resistance to "suits" (referring to both business suits literally and figuratively to the "Establishment"), controls, and unionization.
However, U.S. programmers and unions counter that large companies are exaggerating their case in order to obtain cheaper programmers from developing countries and to avoid paying for training in very specific technologies.

 Computer programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Instead, programmers write source code, and a computer (running a compiler, an interpreter or occasionally an assembler) translates it through one or more translation steps to fill in all the details, before the final machine code is executed on the target computer.
Even when complete low-level control of the target computer is required, programmers write assembly language, whose instructions are mnemonic one-to-one transcriptions of the corresponding machine language instructions.
The earliest programmable machine (that is, a machine that can adjust its capabilities based upon changing its "program") can be said to be the Jacquard Loom, which was developed in 1801.

A Tools Programmer needs to have a strong understanding of the game engine, good knowledge of the target systems (PC, or one of the consoles), good communication skills, and this is extremely important, though generally underrated: knowledge of user interface design.
All game programmers are expected to develop domain expertise in graphics programming, but the Graphics Programmer in particular must master the full suite of techniques to realize three dimensional objects inside a two dimensional display.
However, a Graphics programmer must also have the artistic eye to implement realistic and fascinating particle effects (like fire and electricity), or at least the ability to work with artists to achieve the desired effect.

The features of this programmer includes very low cost, a large amount of independance from differing PC hardware as well as a diagnostic utility to help new builders successfully create their own programmer with a minimum of support.

 The Evolution of a Haskell Programmer
See Iavor Diatchki’s page “The Evolution of a Programmer” for the “original” (though he is not the author), and also below for the story behind this version.
Some time later, I came across Iavor’s "jokes" page, including a funny bit called “The Evolution of a Programmer” in which the traditional imperative "Hello, world" program is developed through several variations, from simple beginnings to a ridiculously complex extreme.
The first version (straight recursion with conditionals) is probably familiar to programmers of all stripes; fans of LISP and Scheme will find the sophomore version especially readable, except for the funny spelling of “lambda” and the absence of “define” (or “defun”).
