As long as I'm paid a software engineering salary to develop software, I could be called a clown for all the difference it makes.
If you're programming, you're a programmer. Or a coder. Or a software developer. Or a software engineer. There is no consensus on the distinction between any of these things. Just lots of people with opinions because it's easy to have an opinion on.

Titles are both a bikeshed and something that can have significant impact on salary, unfortunately. As long as non-technical recruiters are hiring based on buzzwords, it matters.
