Even "programmer" is, in my opinion, too broad of a term. And the difference between "coder" and "programmer" is not really that clear.

Every time a good term, besides "coder" and "programmer", appears, it gets overused by the wrong people and losts it's power. I strongly believe that what Jeff is describing could be called an "Information Systems Designer", but the term "Information Systems" has such a baggage of bullshit consulting that it can't be used.
