Comment on When did programming become "coding"?

If you’re a user who grows up using one, and then starts following instructions on how to build one, when are you going to come across the word program?
It will be app, maybe application, saas software, functions a service, compute as a service etc etc. Hell what most people think of as an “app” is really a collection of applications all working together.

I see what you mean now, you were talking about what words people use, not whether the definition of the word program applies to something.
