I do understand why people avoid "programmer", since it sounds low on the org chart, but replacing it with "senior architectural web consultant" is bad, and suggests that you're embarrassed to be someone who writes code. "Software Developer" is alright, but we're adding letters and a a space between words, and I don't really see why.
Sometimes I think that changing a name over and over shows a bit of insecurity. You know, how lawyers like to introduce themselves as "civil rights lawyers" when in fact they are essentially personal injuries lawyers.
Programmer goes way back. It's a great word, let's use it.
