Saying that programming is 'spending all dap tapping in code' is like saying drawing is 'spending all day holding a pencil.' That isn't a perfect analogy, but programming can be equally about what is being created as it is the code itself.

I agree completely. You can make anything sound awful with that kind of analogy. And some people use it to devalue the things they don't like or understand. There should be a name for this behaviour.
