> I can't really remember encountering any in all the time I've been working with other programmers

While I don't recall any such encounter with any programmer, I have observed many icon-dragging, button-clicking arrogant pricks that called themselves programmers because lave learned that clicking the third button from the second group in the toolbar turns whatever they mashed together into an executable file.

To the average user, such a beast is absolutely indistinguishable from a real programmer and, so, the confusion is understandable.
