Serious question, not a native speaker: Why do people in the Anglosphere refer to mostly-software companies as tech companies, or to software developers as tech workers?
I am an engineer. Most developers aren't though, unfortunately.
Coder isn't a professional title. Software engineer and engineer are very broad of a term, because they can cover alot of work that's not directly coding software. Not all programmers write software code, some just 'program' software that's already written.
So i think developer is the best term for someone that 'develops' and write software code for a living. Or even software developer, those terms are interchangable.

If you call them engineers I'm going to engineer your femur into two pieces.
Not only does this meme ignore the fact there's only 4 choices in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, it doesn't even do an even number of them leaving it annoyingly lopsided
Should have gone with something like “HaxorMaster1447”

I am partial to "code monkey"
On a serious note, I usually refer to myself as a developer or a software engineer when I wanna sound a bit more important.
