For what it's worth, many (most/all?) programmers I know in person don't have the slightest clue about Category Theory and they may have known about abstract algebra once upon a time but certainly don't remember any of it now. They usually understand the concepts perfectly well enough but by "lay terms" or by no particular name at all.
One of my friend once said "... and by 'programmer' I mean 'category theory specialist'".
