A programmer does computer programming, full-time or part-time. A programmer can also be one who programmes: this spelling prevails for television and such-like broadcasting programming (scheduling).

Those proficient in computer programming skills may become regarded as famous programmers or hackers.

Programmers often have or project an image of individualist geekdom, resistant to suits, controls and unionisation.

Less commonly, the term programmer refers to a hardware device that configures a programmable non-volatile circuit such as EEPROM or programmable logic circuits.

Programmers come in all shapes and sizes. Professional programmers work in corporate IT departments, big companies like IBM and small service firms like Art & Logic
