Nomenclature matters, I hate the term "coder" what was wrong with programmer or software engineer?.

What you call yourself has an impact on how people assess your skills (I know it shouldn't matter but it does).

If someone is called a software engineer that brings to mind a conscientious programmer who writes clear maintainable code that meets the spec however when someone is called a coder I visualise someone who vomits PHP into an editor intermingled with HTML and CSS in a form of code injection bingo.
