In programming there are doers and thinkers.

Thinkers also write code, but they have a perfect understanding - breadth and depth - of the application, the environment, the tools they use, the purpose...

They have full autonomy and initiate things.

They have passion and basically do not need any formal education in CS.

Doers receive requirements and implement using the framework they have being told to use.

Most people who have been told to do CS because it is financially rewarding or a good job end up in this category. It is any-office-job for them.
