Pretty much everything in this tag needs deletion, but there are two old "merges" that make some of the questions impossible for the community to delete, namely:

https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/9944/what-is-the-difference-between-software-engineer-and-software-developer

This question was merged with What are the key differences between software engineers and programmers? [closed] because it is an exact duplicate of that question.

This question was merged with What are the boundaries between the responsibilities of a web designer and a web developer? [closed] because it is an exact duplicate of that question.

I assume there's no need to reiterate why job definition questions are off-topic and delete-worthy, so could a moderator please nuke these for the rest of us?

  • does it make sense to historically lock "key differences"? 6 years old, 77K views, 3 top answers look respectable. Lower score answers look bad but not too awful - just "bad enough" to let readers see why this kind of questions is not welcome anymore

    Honestly, I'd rather just nuke it and everything like it from orbit so we can move on with our lives and get back to answering good, on-topic questions instead of playing speculative and fruitless mindgames with the faceless masses and sometimes equally faceless powers that be. But maybe that's just me.

  • you mean, powers that be who can't even bother to do such a little thing as setting distinct background for historically locked posts, so that they make less of a broken window for inexperienced site visitors? Okay, consider me convinced

I deleted both of these merge sources for you. Hopefully this allows you to cast delete votes on the merge targets if you so wish. I am not touching those for right now but if you are still blocked from casting a delete vote then let me know.
