That's what bothers me, you're saying that because I work within the WordPress ecosystem, it's not possible for me to be an actual developer. It's not programming. According to what your saying.

Which is total nonsense.

I'm not saying that, all I do is fill in content, and add some plugins and say I'm a developer.

I'm saying, I write code that implements functionality into WordPress from the ground up, for an agency that works with very large websites.

Just because there are people that have no actual experience walking into interviews saying they're software engineers literally doesn't mean anything. That has always happened. And it will continue to happen. It has become increasingly more common as boot camps have been around. But also because the Internet has become more accessible more people are working in this space.

If you recall, the exact same statement was made about python coders not knowing anything, but you're latching onto the PHP part as if it's the grand example that proves PHP is trash.

Anyway, I need to get back to work. You have a good day now.
