"Coder" - boy do I hate that term. It implies that all the person does is code - no design, no collaboration, no releasing, no testing. It's like calling a roof

"Coder" - boy do I hate that term. It implies that all the person does is code - no design, no collaboration, no releasing, no testing. It's like calling a roofer an hammerer.
As a software engineer/developer/programmer, coding is just one aspect of what I do.
- err4nt 13y agoPerhaps encoder would fit your use of the term better. A craftsman who takes all of these disparate considerations (design, functionality, speed, sustainability) and measures them up against the known limitations of programming languages and the existing hardware available, and intentionally encodes that experience/exptertise into machine language so that knowledge can be easily communicated from human to human.
