> I guess we need first a definition of "coder". Is this the same as a Software Engineer?.
For the sake of the argument yes, it's the same thing. The people who are writing functions based on a specification also need to consider how they interact with other systems, and the people who get to design systems don't spend all of their time doing this, they also need to produce code. The coder vs SWE distinction is a distraction here.
