We (the industry) have done a poor job at delineating different kinds of people who type code into a computer. Our jobs run the entire gamut from "read specification, type code" player-piano type work to intensely creative endeavors. On this spectrum, what do we call these people?

This is important because converting specifications is generally less focus demanding than new algorithm development, and workplaces can adjust their shape to fit the different kinds of work they do.
