Wants to be. He reads a lot of code and tries to understand it and write his own. She will probably never be one of you, like and expert. But she's interested, she works laterally in the field - she's done a lot of hours on the intranet at her job. So I think she can be a developer in the future, a good developer. Now she has a degree in the field and... Wait. But then... she is already a developer. I don't know, man. It's a philosophical question.
It is simply not a phrase I commonly read. When I google it I find a visa consultancy under the name, and not much else. Curiously your comment is also among the results.
The problem is that the phrase "<something> developer" is used to describe what the person develops. A "real-estate developer" invests in real estate as a business. A "web developer" develops web applications, a "game developer" develops games, and so on and so on. So reading the word I immediately thought they mean someone who is developing the future? Like idk Douglas Engelbart or Tim Berners-Lee or someone like that.
If you want to write that someone is learning to become a developer I would recommend the much less confusing "developer in training" phrase, or even better if you just write "they are learning to become a developer".
Bad English case. It just is. I pay a lot of attention when I write English, but you can always tell when someone isn't a native English speaker in about two words. Je suis désolé.
