Hello! I'm a computer scientist which has worked on many ground-breaking programming techniques.
There's a page on me on Wikipedia if you're interested in that.
However, while I do a lot of programming, I do not consider myself a programmer. Programming is just a tool for the realization of the art that I am working on at the given time.
I occasionally bitch about how *programmers* sell out their values in order to get short-term gains on my blog.
