I do wonder the category of “builder” is real as opposed to a self-congratulatory identity. Yes people build, but it’s a messy and loose group not a tight and coherent identity group. It’s like the difference between people who work in science vs people who post “I fucking love science” slogans

In my mind “builder” literally means someone who doesn’t (or very possibly can’t) actually build (program, design, etc)

To be clear I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with being a founder/entrepreneur/etc! Just think the term is cringey
