Are you a developer? (upvote the comment that's you)

A lot of people shipping apps in 2026 don't call themselves developers. Curious what the real split looks like here. Upvote whichever comment fits, I'll share the results in a few days.

I'm a developer

I'm NOT a developer (designer, PM, founder, marketer...)

I’m not a developer, but a founder for the Ya’Mar Marketplace app that just launched a few days ago. A project that took over 2 years to complete and I’m sure will take some time to build and grow, but I’m here for it. All companies start from somewhere. Following as well.

definetly not the developer behind this, but I appreciate the work. I've already upvoted because I like supporting people who build useful things.

 Supporters who ship nothing this month still count. Your vote is the NOT comment, designer, PM, founder, marketer, or just someone who likes useful things

Yep, I am. Started with Android development, and these days I end up working on a bit of everything depending on what the project needs :)

 A bit of everything depending on the project is where most honest answers land. The clean labels are mostly for bios

Upvoted developer, but the label does less work every month. I have written software for years, and these days an agent writes most of the code while I review and steer. Somewhere between developer and editor-in-chief of a very fast junior. Curious to see your split, my guess is the NOT-developer group takes it within two years.

 Two years might be generous. Q1 App Store submissions grew 84 percent and analysts credit people who describe instead of type. If that holds, the NOT group takes the majority before your deadline. Also, editor-in-chief of a very fast junior is going in the results post with credit, unless you object

 No objection, honored to make the results post. And fair, the 84 percent number is hard to argue with, my two-year guess may age like milk. Looking forward to seeing the split.

I'm a developer and a founder. What does that make me? I find that AI has a hard time writing Swift applications. As a developer, I need to fix things myself. I shipped my first AI product 10 years ago. As a founder, I hire myself as a developer

 Hiring yourself has one perk, the standups are quick
