If what you work in is 1's and 0's, then you may also be an engineer, as well as a database designer, websapp developer or programmer.

It reminds me of a joke a prof told me.

In a town, three seperate fires started in a town, not necessarily at the same time. One in a chemist's bedroom, another in a physicist's and a third in a computer scientist's room.

The chemist wakes up, measures the size of the fire, the heat and gets a flask of water and equally distributes the water over the fire to extinquish it.

The physicist wakes up, sees the fire. Fills the flask to the brim and douses the fire. Fire is out.

The CS dude wakes up, looks at it, determines the problem is solvable and goes back to bed.

As someone who expresses himself, I don't work in just unsolved problems. The web is one big solved problem, now to get content on the web for people to see. Matrix math, to some degree, is like this too.. but knowing how to solve these problems, in real life, helps us to appreciate how bad some solutions are and what is acceptable. That balancing, is a science in itself.

Just my point of view. :)
