that's not true, its very popular outside of web development in general day to day use as slang.
in my circle we probably use it much more than 'developer', which is a woolly term that encompasses all kinds of artists, designers, producers, teams and whole companies. although the standard term is definitely 'programmer'.
- dfox 13y agoI have always seen 'coder' used for someone who essentially transforms designers intent into HTML/CSS/JS (or other GUI code) and does not especially care about backend code. I have seen it used with this meaning even in job postings (mostly web development related).
- jheriko 13y agoi dont have much contact with that part of the programming world (although i work in a web dev office atm) - every time i've heard it used its to refer to a programmer working on performance critical desktop software or AAA games... that's the opposite end of the spectrum pretty much.
