As I said yesterday on another similar comment, you do want to keep the concept of "coding" in there somewhere. After all, executives, marketers, sales of all kind including the kids taking your order at McDonalds, and the secretary taking the phone calls all communicate so therefore they are programmers. That dilutes the term into uselessness.
(And let's skip the hypothetical where maybe they've got some package that allows automation; then, yes, when using it they are acting as programmers. Labels are always fuzzy. Nevertheless, they convey real information despite that fuzziness. Deliberately fuzzing up a definition to try to win a point on the internet is a terrible thing to do to a word.)
