I am fond of this distinction too. "Coder" is really demeaning...
But even "programmer", which is much better really doesn't cover it. Some
expect that if there is a programmer, he must be getting his orders from
a "designer" etc. Indeed some of these distinctions are losing their
applicability in hightech "startup" companies.
But really, doesn't "Computer Maven" sound better :-)
