Yes. I’ve met people in marketing calling themselves programmers because they once wrote a PHP script. I’ve overheard high school-aged kids at the Starbucks talking about the differences between a developer and a designer. I’ve interviewed self-described “programmers” who struggle to write a for loop and “DBA”s who don’t know what the normal forms are. My family, none of whom are the least bit technical, casually throw around words like “algorithm” and “server”. The guy who works at the deli outside my apartment has asked me what my opinion on Python is. We are definitely in a programming/CS/IT (whatever you want to call it) bubble - the level of general interest and enthusiasm for this stuff is unlike anything I’ve seen with other fields.
