I always have to smile when someone calls themselves a "coder" (especially when they smugly call themselves a "real coder"). It wasn't that long ago, in the era of big iron, that coder meant something else entirely. Programmers would write programs on paper. It was then the job of the coder to type the programs on the punch-card stations. Coders were guys who could be trusted not to screw up the syntax but not to write their own code. If you wanted to insult a programmer, all you had to do was to call them a "coder".
