Coding and programming is about writing the code. You get on a computer and type away.
Writing code is just one part of a bigger whole. It takes more than writing code to make software. Someone needs to think about the architecture, infrastructure, planning, management, maintenance, deployment, r&d... That's software engineering. It's a much broader concept than just editing text files.
The aspect of software engineering makes sense per your definition. That brings the question of who a software developer is but... Coding and computer programming are entirely different though interrelated. One is an integral part of the other with the other being the bigger picture
