The gatekeeping is strong in this one. Why does it matter how you label people? (emphasis added because that's not how people generally define programmers) Just let people do what they want.
My “labeling” is a form of expression to describe my point. You can disagree, but please be explicit instead of just going “well, that’s just what you think”. This is a discussion forum; I expect people to have differing opinions, and I want to debate them. You just seem to want to instead shut down any debate.
And yes, I do want to “gatekeep” any profoundly unhelpful people out of programming. Programming should be about helping people do things they otherwise don’t know how or could not do for themselves. Navel-gazers and gnostics (while they have their proper place and use) are generally not suited for, and reflect poorly on, the vocation of programming.
