"Hobbyist"? What happened to "hacker"?

Hopefully I'll graduate in March with a Bachelor of Software
Engineering, however until then you can call me a hobbyist if you must
but I prefer the term hacker because I'm one of those snooty people who
insists on "real" definitions even when the mainstream ones get changed.
:-)

In Ruby I've only written small programs which transform data and
interesting little toy scripts. But I skim this list every day and I
have a vapourware Ruby roguelike game in the works which is fun to
design and code random small bits when I have time away from
assignments, thesis and (hopefully soon) work.
