Question: at what point do folks consider themselves programmers? Or scientists?

I've written programs, but don't feel I've earned the title "programmer". I've used the scientific method to identify and resolve issues, but "scientist"? Not I. At what point do folks feel comfortable identifying themselves that way? Just wondering if anyone else is pondering what I'm pondering.

Programmer: When you completed a project used by someone else consistently

Scientist: Once you are published in a peer reviewed journal.

@freemo I am oddly impressed you had objective benchmarks on the ready. Well played.
