A "programmer" is already somewhat the same as a "builder" is. A programmer programs, just like a builder builds.

A programmer can have a lot of different hats. A hacker (white or black), computer scientist, developer, etc, all do different jobs. You wouldn't put a hacker into a job of medical or financial responsibility, where a minor bug can be fatal or extremely expensive.

A builder can have loads of different hats as well. A carpenter doesn't do the same thing as an iron worker, a plumber or an electrician.

The carpenter probably could do a lot of the same things, with about the same error frequency as a hacker in a financial job would have. That error frequency would also decline as he got better at wiring like an electrician.

That's my view of what the "programmer" word means.
