Use whatever labels you want, apply charitable reading and I'm sure even you could understand what I mean here. Clearly there are at least two sorts of tasks (or used to anyways) in "software engineering" as a whole, one more mechanical and one more about thinking.
It just shows you haven't programmed computers much so your opinion is largely speculative.
What exactly shows that? That I think thinking about code/design and typing code are two different activities? Maybe you disagree, around myself and my peers that'd be a minority perspective, but it's not speculative, based on real experience.

Beautiful burn.
