I guess not. It's just that I think of myself as an artist, and it's just a coincidence that for some reason my medium is technology. I never did coding because I really didn't have to. I used to make stuff in the real world instead and adding a micro-controller was a level of complexity that I couldn't approach due to parental time restrictions. However, now when I have this idea that extensively requires server based computation then I am teaching myself how to code, and I think that I might fall in love. It's just that I don't think in one paradigm. To me everything is connected. I once went from trying to make a more intuitive search engine interface using NLP to a haptic I/O device (prototype 0.0. : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jHIoJ5nvtw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jHIoJ5nvtw . I hand wound the coil, by the way. I even filed for my first patent for that, but now I don't have money to develop it further and create a proper application.) I know I am weird but everything is beautiful to me and all I care about is creating something beautiful. I am not sure what you might call me. I am not a traditional artist per se my medium isn't even considered art.

I have almost the same views. All through my childhood I liked building things, and taking other things apart to see how they worked. An elementary hacker if you will. Then I grew up and went into a subset of manufacturing, but always loved playing with technology. After some years, I started building systems to help me perform my job with more automation and skill and after a couple projects, I needed to learn to code, which I started to pick up. Programming things is something I love, but its a tool to do other interests. Coding and programming just to write keywords and numbers in a text editor isn't all that fun.
