&gt;If someone is able to build with a tool something that a developer would build with code<p>If they could actually do this, yes it would. But they can&#x27;t actually build something that a developer would build with code. If someone can&#x27;t code at all, they can use WordPress to build a <i>very</i> small subset of what a developer can build with code.<p>A person who spend 30 seconds setting up a blog on tumblr is able to build something that a developer would build with code, but again it&#x27;s just a small subset.<p>Now if that subset is all you need then it&#x27;s fine to hire WordPress admin instead of a developer. But the term &quot;developer&quot; has a current meaning, and that meaning is analogous to &quot;programmer&quot;.<p>That being said, language changes, and developer could become another meaningless job title like engineer (in some countries), and people will have to use another term for someone who can code.<p>There are ways to prevent this, in some jurisdictions they limit the use of titles like Engineer.
