It would be neat if we could divide programming into (a) software development; (b) other labor-saving automation that's less serious.

When a tool crosses from (b) into (a), we'd have to acknowledge that too. (Or ignore it and invite a blizzard of problems, which are now inexplicable because "it was done".)

Every thinking person already in fact does differentiate between (a) and (b) in their own work. So admitting it out loud and just talking about it may not be the apocalypse that many expect. But ymmv.
