That entirely depends on the purpose of the software that's being written. If you're writing, say, the Amiga Boing Ball demo, or Dali Clock, you might be leaning more towards art. But if you're writing software that controls transactions for a bank, you're definitely more an engineer. What does it matter anyway? In my rather short career so far, I've been an artist and an engineer, a scientist and a craftsman. Sometimes all in the same day.
