In Brazil, 'software developer' is a highly valued profession in the growing tech industry, particularly in São Paulo's tech ecosystem. The informal term 'dev' is commonly used in startup environments and tech communities. In the USA and NYC specifically, the role encompasses various specializations (web, mobile, backend, full-stack), and professionals often identify with their specific domain rather than just 'software developer.'
