Comment on Ask HN: coder, developer, hacker, or ...?

Comments

Depends on the skill and expereince level. An engineer would be a high level developer, for instance. I think the connotation of coder is a little bit negative for anyone with skill level.

Aha, ok. Let me rephrase then: if I want to make a site geared towards people who code, what is the best word to use in the domain name (coder, developer, etc)?

Programmer would be the best term.

This seems arbitrary. What's your source?
