Yep and then you'll have some war stories how things break in production because they weren't initially included in the nonfunctional requirements. Have enough of these war stories and you'll basically be a software engineer. Albeit, a software engineer that has never coded before, but definitely someone who understands production issues.

I have plenty of those in decades of human programming too, so...
By that token, the difference between an end user and a programmer is access to jira.
