Are you a coder? I dont like the term. Sure there are lots of anachronistic words in the language, and sometimes you use a word knowing that it sucks, but there just isnt a better one available (e.g. user, content). But coder? Its not the word Ive *ever* used to describe what I do, nor until recently has anyone referred to what I do as coding. It seems as if this is a deliberate marketing campaign to try to keep programmers in their place. Were powerful people because of what we do, but we dont get much a chance to make progress because its impossible to be a programmer and have the respect of non-programmers, I guess. I wrote one piece to explain why I think its a bad word. And now I have something to point to, I can move on. If were all going to be coders so be it. Id rather us be something with more meaning. scripting/2014/08/27/whatCoderMeansToMe.html Happy Thursday! :-)
