Thank you, Noor Ahmed! I'm glad you found the information informative. It's quite common for many people to confuse the roles of engineers and developers, so you're not alone. Understanding the differences can help you navigate the tech industry more effectively. If you have any further questions or need more information, feel free to ask.
