Software development is a trade. Programming is a skill that can be useful in a wide range of jobs.

I wouldn't be surprised if actual software developers turned out to be a minority among the people who write code as part of their jobs.

Adding programming to your toolbox doesn't require a $15,000 bootcamp. The unwritten agreement to these things is that you pay $15k now to get a $100k job once you graduate. The reality is that that rarely happens.
