Then there are mathematicians and quants, like me: breastfed on Matlab, weaned on Python, claim a much deeper understanding of algorithms and code factoring techniques than front-end jockeys, but still shudders at memory management (other than by preallocating matrices/numpy arrays), devops and other practices that are all in a day's work for "man's man programmers". Granted, we're precisely what PL authors had in mind from time to time (eg with SQL): nonprogrammers who can write domain code. But because our training goes into proving big-O complexity, etc. front-end jockeys look at us as if we're capital-P programmers.
