A-204 is more of an admin cert than a developer cert

As I have been searching for work, I have been working on certifications. I am a software engineer by trade, and my mentor told me to get the AZ-900 and the AZ-204 certifications to prep being a Azure Cloud developer. I got the AZ-900, but as I study for the AZ-204, it seems to be less of a cert that helps with programming on the cloud, but is more about management and administration of code on the cloud. Does anyone know any more about what certifications would be helpful to show myself worthy of working on code with Azure?

Thanks.
