RE: Are we 'programmers' or 'scripters'?

I've got a couple more comments on this one:

I think programmers work at programming as their full time occupation
whereas for scripters writing scripts tends to be only part of the job

Programming usually has all the versioning & project life cycle stuff
wrapped round it - how many scripters use source control?
