I support this kind of encouragement.

Please, if you've built something that you or someone else has used, you're a programmer/developer.

This field is so broad that I also feel like I don't know what I'm doing with 10+ years of experience. You will never learn/know everything and that's OK.

OK, so if I wrote a UI that a call center used to more easily allow staff to access different customer categories, and I also wrote a text analysis script to analyze and categorize customer feedback, I'm officially a programmer/developer?

Sounds like it to me!
