A loanword from English 'coder.' In the Japanese IT industry, コーダー often refers specifically to someone who converts designs into HTML/CSS markup or writes code based on specifications, as opposed to engineers who design systems. The term can sometimes carry a nuance of lower-level implementation work compared to プログラマー or エンジニア.
