In the final year at university a mathematician told me engineers were scientists who prostitute their knowledge. He saw no irony in his becoming an accountant in the City after he graduated.

Hard to mind, when all the craft is done for a monkey's hand.
Hard to heart, when a job for Da Vinci is treated as labour!
So, a labour or craftsman, depends on the person who gives me the job...

Just that something can be done, doesn't mean it should be done. Respect developers and their efforts!

Actually it is purely depends on project and estimated time to complete the project.

I think it depends more on the developer: for instance, I never meet deadlines.

Actually it's quite simple:
A Craftsman is someone that respects its trade, producing high quality merchandise, specially designed for one customer(not mass-produced).
A labourer has to finish his quota of work for the day in one workday.Little to none responsibility (or care) to quality. Only quantity matters."GET THINGS DONE".
A Craftsman cares more about its honor and prestige rather than getting something done in an limited amount of time.Of course, it's not a very good idea to stall a client indefinitely, but it is always better to delay something rather than make it on time but with poor quality.The delay is soon forgotten by the client, but the quality isn't, because the client uses what you have built every day.
Think of the difference between an shoe made in a small shop by a craftsmen especially for you, that usually lasts a lifetime, and an chinese sneaker that unglues after few weeks or less.
It is the "merit" of the industrial "revolution" that it literally wiped out all craftsmen.
IT DOES NOT DEPENDS on the JOB , IT DEPENDS ON THE PERSON, and its self-respect.

Hahaha My company fire a creative person who takes too much time to create an image. He was very good in his work but because of him all developer suffers.If my company commit to any client than they just want to give release with in time.I know it is a wrong way but they don't want to loose a client.

No project goes by the schedule. So estimates are just used as "Eye Candy".

 Noops company commit the deadline and we have to finish that project in time. One project takes 1 month of time and company commit client to complete it in 15 days and tell me to do work at home and I did. If I am working on product than I will take care of all such things but if cliental project that we must complete it in time.

Depending on the project it is between a highly creative and a highly knowledge based process, the only other job similar in my opinion is the movie business, where you need creativity in writing the script, lighting, camera work etc. to hauling equipment around, accounting, scheduling, catering etc.
Some jobs are just like "American pie [insert number]" and some are like "Eyes wide shut".

Yes, a programmer's life is hard. The red carpets, the press, the groupies and fanatic fans. But if it were not for the glory, we would live useless lifes in vain. So we better never go to Vain at all.

As a software consultant, I constantly remind myself as an artist, not just because it’s easy for developers who potentially review my work, be able to quickly scale up the application or add on the new features to it, more importantly, make them enjoy the course of the reading the codes/framework and let them believe that our job is not just to fix someone’s problems.
What you say?
