The example given, SQL, also falls flat. There’s plenty of people who are technical but not developers and use SQL for their daily lives. I know a marketing manager who is better than me at SQL.

Heck, I ask a PM at work to debug some of my complex queries and he asks me for help with sample code for a developer product.
