coders
Algorithm authors at keyboards
Coders are people who write computer code—programmers who create software, websites, or applications.
The term is informal and often implies hands-on technical work rather than high-level architecture: We need more coders on this project.
Coder culture celebrates problem-solving, late nights, and caffeine.
