Writing code is such a small part of software development though. It’s an even smaller portion of software engineering (which involves tons of other skills such as translating user requirements/complaints into features/bug reports, recognizing trade offs and knowing when to make which one, having historical knowledge about the project such as which approaches to a particular problem have been tried and discarded and why, and so on).
