Developer is the fifth full-length studio album by indie rock band Silkworm, released in 1997.

A remastered and expanded 2x12" edition of Developer, including five Japan-only bonus tracks, was announced by Comedy Minus One for release in early 2025.

"[8] CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that the songs "seem to have been sequenced to maximize the contrast between bassist Tim Midgett's tersely emotional lyrics and guitarist Andy Cohen's sardonic, anecdotal style.

"[9] Miami New Times wrote that Silkworm's songs "unwind slowly and abstractly, with Cohen's busy but lyrical solos tearing out a center in the rhythms -- skidding off on surprising tangents, never going for any predictable or simple momentum.

"[10] The Chicago Reader praised the album's "frantic guitar, strangulated vocals, and drunken drumming.
