the term "programmer" is generally used to describe software jobs where you aren't expected to do much design or critical thinking or have in-depth knowledge of computer science or engineering concepts.

I find it helps distinguish me from all the talking heads in this industry who couldn't actually build an information system if their lives depended upon it.
