What's the difference between a coder and a developer in your opinion?

If I would have to classify:

A coder gets an example of inputs and how output should look and builds a function for it.

A developer gets a problem description and have to figure out what inputs and outputs are required and how they relate.

More general, a pure coder dont build a complete program/solution but solves a single problem at a time.

A developer makes more overall decisions.

In larger projects both have their role and a good developer or coder is both at different times.

First you develop the problems to be solved, then you code solutions to the problems.

Most people are better in one role or the other and it often depends on the situation and what you specialise in.

@Voxera I completely agree, I am a developer, because i take the problem and create the solution then code it.

That's a nice answer on an interesting point of view. Thanks!
