No, that is not the same thing at all.
The equivalent would be "are there programmers and non-programmers"
That is a specific job. "Technical person" is not a specific job.

While 'technical' more generally refers to the techniques and tooling of any trade, craft, or activity (arts included can have technical terminology, etc.) - we understand it here, or so I thought, to mean those concerned with our trade/craft/activity, y'know, computers or the internet, or whatever else non-technical family members describe us as 'doing'.
Not everyone who calls themselves a ballerina or a chef has a job as one.
