It might be geographic or cultural coming from a B2B background, but I've associated the use of "coder" these past few years more with a vaguely well-intentioned clumsiness or calculated immaturity. Very "how do you do, fellow kids?", reminiscent of how "geek" became chic in the late 00s, possibly of a kind with all the organizations that do great work advancing women's prospects in the industry but still labor under the mildly infantilizing title of "girl" this or that.
