@rauschma I use IT “often” because it’s my job, but I’m not a developer. 🙄 I’m just developing anger issues when admins and security people are ignored.

@dyfustic Thanks for the feedback!

I’m not very familiar with what admins and security people do but: Would you not consider admin-ing (writing config scripts etc.) to be programming? I personally find setting up AWS more difficult than programming. I’d also count people who write spreadsheets with formulas as programmers.

@rauschma Programming for me is writing code. Writing code is the focus of the job. But admins do much different things than this and in my case the “programming” was maybe 5% of my work. I think your definition is too broad.

@rauschma

I was following this train of thought until you said spreadsheets

Does that make my company's accounting department programers?

(I initially came into the comments because there's no "non-programming IT professional" answer. I wouldn't consider the average sysadmin or network engineer a programmer)
