In this context, how about 'programmer'?

• Dylan16807 10y ago
  That leads to a very strange sentence since 'programmer' is already used. More importantly 'programmer' doesn't work well as "thing you don't want to be". Instead you've left that category of word entirely. "Dork" is about as minimally-derogatory as you can get without losing the meaning entirely. And it doesn't feed any kind of discrimination.

    Ahh I understand your point now. For the record I meant 'less derogatory or not at all derogatory'.
