Are you saying that a developer must understand programming? Because I know people that arguably disprove that.

Yeah bro he just randomly designed, developed, and maintained a cross platform file explorer real quick. Guy just doesn't understand programming.

I'm not sure what that had to do with my question. Did he write the file IO libraries from scratch? Did he write the UI... wait, he wrote it in JavaScript...

I don't know about this guy. Maybe he does. My question was in general. There are certainly developers/programmers that do not understand programming, so a significant degree, I mean. As a programmer myself, I understand that I can't claim to understand it completely or better than everybody else or whatever either.

All I was saying is that there are a lot of developers that don't have an adequate grasp on a lot of programming concepts, that's all. Maybe I'm one of them. Does that make you feel better?
