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?"

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
