Agreed. Or in case someone brings up the good ol' "civil engineering" analogy - programming isn't like constructing a bridge. Constructing a bridge is what compilers do. Programming is the design and engineering that results in a blueprint. And our occupation is unique in that the construction part is so cheap, we can design iteratively, instead of actually thinking about what we're doing.
