Answer

:-

A Software Engineer or Computer Scientist or Coder is an Artist who crafts, plumbs, and puzzle out the hunting process in order to outperform the coding work as compared to a code cranking machine; and obviously, is not just a normal developer who works only for the bills.

            "Engineer - Due to B.Tech, I'm called here so.
               Artist - Coding and UI design is an art
            Craftsman - Art requires skillful crafting
              Plumber - I have to wire up the view to viewmodel.
               Hunter - I hunt down bugs
Code cranking machine - What will you say to someone who is mostly before the computer typing out some random code 
                        in some random language and seeing what that does!
     Just a developer - Thats what I'm called. And it pays the bills!"

I agree! I was about to be rude towards the guy who created the survey for making check boxes and realized after reading this post that all can apply.

"Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence."
