Software coder - I prefer software developer

There is a word in the software development world that I find a wee bit annoying - coder! It suggests that you stick someone in front of a screen and of they go - coding.

It's a term I think that is normally used by people who don't understand the process of software development and I am sure most use it when they mean developer or programmer.

Software development and software consultancy involves some pretty clever people working with large and often complex platforms and concepts - so the term coder for me doesnt really suggest that. Ok complaint over!
