Computer Programmer Job Description

A computer programmer is a person who writes software programs.

Computer programmers are warned to beware the curse of knowledge: the tendency to be unaware of mistakes made by one’s own code.

Computer programmers are in demand worldwide.

They can be found in nearly every industry, from aerospace companies to biotechnology firms.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics states that about 1,800,000 people in the United States do computer programming.

Computer programmers may work for large companies, at governmental agencies, or for smaller companies; they may also work for themselves as independent contractors.

Computer programmers write code, which tells a computer what to do.
