While reading documentation I came across the following sentence:
As the bundle developer, you then parse through that configuration and load correct services and parameters inside an "Extension" class.
Shouldn't this be As a or As the is also correct? When should I say As a and when As the?
5The fact that "as" appears before the article makes no difference to whether you should use "a" or "the". The question would be exactly the same if you wanted to know the difference between "The bundle developer's job is to develop bundles" and "A bundle developer's job is to develop bundles." – David Richerby – 2015-12-02T09:43:02.833
@DavidRicherby - so the does not imply that the addressed person is the sole developer for/of the bundle? Is this a 'generic use' of the article? Interesting. You might post an answer then, and I'll scrap mine. – CowperKettle – 2015-12-02T09:54:44.977
5@CopperKettle I think your answer's fine. I'm just pointing out that the question isn't really about "as the" vs "as a"; it's just about "a" vs "the". – David Richerby – 2015-12-02T10:05:06.543
