Is everything other than programming, "bullshitting"? Far from it. I am referring to a multifaceted spectrum of skills, no different than one every other non-technical professional has to contend with. Linguistic skills, logical fallacies (recognising other peoples' bullshit), arguing pro and contra, team dynamics, business knowledge (if you're in line of business software, which most of us will be in), testing (a science in itself)... and yes, the softer skills such as marketing yourself and trying to present your work in the best possible light.
I would also recommend learning how politics function in the workplace, if only so you can defend yourself from other peoples' black magic.
