Do you understand that nowdays meaning of "IT" is very far from what IT was a decade ago?
Typical conversation:
Are you IT specialist?
Hell, no way! I'm programmer, I know how hardware works.
"IT" today is modern hipster languages, bloatware frameworks, something they name "platforms", CD/CI (in Russian it named "bang-bang and into production"), rewriting for the sake of rewriting, upgrading for the sake of upgrading, and all that crap.
Result you see right now as your GB/GHz eating browser with a single long page with few distant pictures and some
curtailed text with megabytes of JS frameworks on the top.
Yeah, very confused. Programmers do less hardware than IT guys.

Maybe that's what it is in Russia and that's why it sounds so weird to me. Here IT is all networking. There isn't necessarily any coding at all and it's separate from web design. What I call an IT guy didn't cause inefficient webpages
You're just confused about what IT is. System administration and anything having to with networking is IT

May be you mean "anykey guys" under IT? What IT guys do with hardware? Move it and connect with cables?
And did you noticed, that right now you stated exactly what I told earlier - programmers are not IT guys.
What do you mean under networking? Does writing networking code fall under your IT?
How coding and web design is not "Information Technology"?
Are coders different from programmers?
