Unfortunately I think it really depends what people are doing. Some people have an utterly trivial problem domain and their job is to translate fairly low level demands into code. We used to call these code monkeys. The term has fallen out of favour but they still exist. Others have a very difficult problem domain, very high level, complex problems, and spend most of their time reasoning with how to manage that inherent complexity in a functioning software system. In these discussions it's impossible to tell who is who.
