Is "programming" a dirty word, suddenly?

I personally see it as rather a great title to be given. Programming is a skill that everyone should develop, but there's only a few that actually have fully developed in this art. Plus, there's going to be that one job where you have to know how to code. If you add that you are a coder because you have developed this skill, your work and life will be easier.
Is that from the point of view of programming being something you do as an extension to your job in order to handle certain problems you encounter? But what if your job is programming - in which case, programming is therefore an end in itself...? I think the verb "to code" (which I hate, from a purely grammatical standpoint) describes maybe 1/10 of what a programmer actually does...
