Let’s say I’m a carpenter, and occasionally I open up a cad program and draw up a wrench or lathe chuck and have it cut out of sheet steel. Yes, I did some engineering but I’m not really an engineer.

Likewise let’s say I’m an artist. Maybe I write code now and then to program my automatic paint mixer or whatever.

Code to build something: engineer

Code to use something: programmer
