There is a very specific sort of thing here that I don't have language for but I have noticed. People who work with things respect other people with expertise in how to work on things.
Often they do not see skills with people as real unless they are deeply abstracted and not really about people anymore but the things that make up people, eg neuroscience.
Ohh digitalist is a decent working label, I have heard the ones and zeros thing too.
It is like they think the idea that you can apply your discipline's norms and models to the world in a really broad way is somehow unique or uniquely productive in computer science.
Yeah, but Objectivist is already taken :)
