At a very high level a typical set of office worker tasks includes performing business processes, modifying processes in response to changing needs, optimizing processes, discussing and planning the future with co-workers, all in the context of the business domain and organizational structure + strategy. It frequently includes some kind of automation in the form of Excel sheets, e-mail / document templates, and the like. This broad description basically sits on a spectrum with what many programmers do, even more so if RPA catches on in these type of jobs. Doing this stuff today isn't always a cakewalk, and there are plenty of full-time office jobs that already pay $75k sans writing code. I'm pointing this out because there is a lot of cloudiness in what "the profession" is, what a "dev" is, what an "office worker" is. Someone with the title "software developer" could be working on firmware, cloud systems, or they could be scripting business logic & setting up processes for other workers. Someone with the title "market analyst" could be writing a couple emails a day and dragging files and folders around -- or they could be coding automated reports, constructing data feeds, and collaborating on VBA/JS macros in Excel.
