As in the old job of coder, short for "encoder". That does not appear to be the same thing you are talking about, but it was equally inefficient to have a second person doing the coding, especially as the tools improved. That is how we ended up with people splitting their roles as both engineer and coder. But the premise is that you won't need to worry about human coder anymore, not as a distinct individual and not a job shared with other jobs.
