Would be hilarious if he walked into a job interview and got grilled about it. "yeah, so it says here you worked on the web? do you have a portfolio? what frameworks did you use?"
-
I don't know how you would get more specific.

Missing "The" in front of title
-
I mean. It's not wrong...

-
Developer of the Web
-
Right? It's just missing the article.

-
Technically the truth
-
Well, "Web Developer" is effectively a compound (like in German, we do the same thing but often just keep the spaces between the words).
With a compound, the connection between the words sometimes has to be inferred, usually by inserting an appropriate preposition.
Usually, something like "Developer on the Web" would probably be what we understand.
In TBL's case ... it's "Developer OF the Web".
-
I think it's a little more idiomatic (at least where I'm from in the US) to specify this difference as, "a web developer" vs "the web's developer"
-
I think we’re saying the same thing.
Web’s developer = developer of the web +/- idiom

Well, he kinda is :D

Reminds me of the time I went from being a PHP developer to being a PHP developer.

I'm too lazy to find a picture of a spider for this joke - this exercise is left for the reader.

Trivial exercise.

Had a good laugh from this. It's not wrong, though.

Jeez that's an old YouTube UI.
-
Is this 2008 YouTube I see before me? That's a throwback

Sir Tim Berners Lee
-
Well it does say Web Developer and not web developer. 🤔
-
Web Master would have been a better title..
-
What'd Tim do again?
-
He made a basic html site a couple years ago
-
He invented Al Gore
-
Ahh that's how that circle completes

If TBL was the web developer then what do I call what I was doing all those years...
