I'll grant you that.

I suppose I wrote that response as a knee-jerk reaction to the twinge I get in my left shoulder every time I hear the word "programmer". I program and I code but I also paint and write but painting does not make me an artist and writing does not make me an author. Regardless, I agree with you after taking a breath and composing myself enough to slip back into regularity of terminology fearlessness.

So you think painter and writer are derogative too?
