No it isn't, unless you think PMs are programmers. She was the lead developer and created the foundation for the software, then drove the project home. She wasn't a non-technical person writing requirements for engineers to work on.

But from that to the title statement of "she wrote ALL the code" is a long stretch, which is where my analogy is coming from
