      We already have two terms for that - coder and programmer.

        Really ? I always thought them as synonyms and "Software Engineer" as a more "upscale" title (which is kind of stupid, IMHO). From Wikipedia: "The term programmer has often been used as a pejorative term to refer to those without the tools, skills, education, or ethics to write good quality software. In response, many practitioners called themselves software engineers to escape the stigma attached to the word programmer. In many companies, the titles programmer and software developer were changed to software engineer, for many categories of programmers."

    Exactly! Me and most of my friends are doing basic front-end and app development. Nothing that required our degrees. And yet we are making the same high salaries as everyone else in the bay area.
