I think it's important to make this distinction. Programming is not only one of the most important activities we do but also our connection with the wider hacking/DIY community. This connection is what makes SWE attractive to many. A teenager being able to create a web site or a game is a great gateway. But it sometimes comes with a caveat: programming is just part of the job. And sometimes not the most crucial part, either. By making this distinction, we can enable ourselves to move towards being an engineering discipline with it's own understanding of quality.
