Programming

This is a professional holiday for professionals earning a hard sandwich by programming.
Or is it a holiday for all people who are not indifferent to programming.
How do you feel about the attempts of various computer specialists to join your holiday.

PS… Please answer from the bottom of my heart. It's really interesting to me.
For example, I am in the position of a bat - a teacher of computer science (but with an emphasis on programming).

Are you sorry or what? Let whoever wants - he celebrates, even the Day of Cosmonautics, even the Day of the Programmer.

Why so serious? :) I remember that I worked in an office, so there was a programmer's day every Friday (and designers had a designer's day, respectively).

If you teach programming (and not general computer literacy), algorithms, children write programs, you check them, then you can consider yourself a programmer, there is nothing to worry about. So what if the programs are simple. The teacher must know everything at a higher level, combine programming with pedagogy, and have a deep knowledge of algorithms.
I remember my programming teachers - I consider them programmers.

What dialect is it in? :) My yours do not understand without commas and agreements.
On the subject: whoever has a holiday in his soul, let him celebrate!

And I am against the celebration of holidays. This introduces unnecessary idleness and distracts from the awareness of the true problems of being.

Just for fun:
if I can write some simple script in bash, perl, php; write a mysql query write some primitive batch file; or some simple program in Delphi - can I consider myself a programmer?

Yes, this is the same as driver's day. Both hardened truckers and novice schoolboys-drivers can celebrate. And really, it's a pity, isn't it? For most people far from all this, the concepts of a computer scientist and a programmer are equivalent.

Let them celebrate, whoever wants to, but people who are involved in programming at least somehow (do it) relate to this holiday (Somehow I imagine it)

Who cares? It's not March 8 - you don't need to give flowers to the "celebrating" :)
