"Instead of 'programmers' (people that specialize in writing code), what you need are 'developers' (people who will contribute in multiple ways to make the product successful)."

Instead of weasel words what you need is a description that covers how you get done what it is you do. In fact its my experience that people who identify as programmers, hackers or coders are much more down to earth about solving problems and doing useful stuff. What's after developers? Software construction facilitators? Fancy names just seem to miss the point.
