Possibly. I'm a programmer, software engineer, developer, coder, or anything else anybody wants to call me. For some reason, different terms mean different things to people who do hiring, so you need to be flexible in your definition.

All it means is "somebody who programs computers". Translate it in your head and move on.

I like how it's shorter to say and write.

Yep, "programmer" is too long, which is why i used the term "coder". I'm a programmer too and never thought it had any negative connotations.
