The umbrella term I'd use for all of these is "coding".

Saying "it's not programming it's coding" is like engineer "it's not dirt it's soil" levels of pedantry that are silly to expect people outside your profession to know.

Hey, maybe you are engineers after all lol

Sure. Which is why I would only make this distinction in a place where I can reasonably expect people to know better. Like, perhaps, a niche community on an experimental social media platform dedicated to programming.

That'd be nice, but it's obvious who is and isn't a programmer in this one.
