No, you're not. Nor are those other people "computer scientists"
or the like. Doing software shares basic similarities with a lot
of disciplines (including both engineering and, yes, poetry), but
in the end it differs fundamentally from all of them. The fact
that people try to shoehorn it into one of these categories is
a perennial wetware hate.
