That brings the question to mind, what’s the difference between coding, computer programming or programming and software engineering?
Is there actually a difference at all?
Coding and programming is about writing the code. You get on a computer and type away.
Writing code is just one part of a bigger whole. It takes more than writing code to make software. Someone needs to think about the architecture, infrastructure, planning, management, maintenance, deployment, r&d… That’s software engineering. It’s a much broader concept than just editing text files.
The aspect of software engineering makes sense per your definition. That brings the question of who a software developer is but…
Coding and computer programming are entirely different though interrelated. One is an integral part of the other with the other being the bigger picture

I prefer the term Software Engineererer, myself
Software engineering is not only the programming part, though.
Not about preference. More of terminologies and their right appropriation
