Alan, while trying come up with a good question, I learned you are a musician. Great! As a fellow musician (also jazz and classical) I'm curious whether you feel this has influenced your engineering.
[Do you prefer "[computer] science", "design", or another term? I personally get a bit queasy about calling it "science" when the field isn't centered around experiments and their analysis. Moreover "sciencing" is not a verb :).]
I like "computer science" when doing real "computer science". Science is making explanatory models from and about phenomena and looking for more phenomena.
Most of the time I think I'm "designing".
In English "sciencing" can be a verb. And there's the great line from "The Martian" -- "I'm going to have to science the shit out of this!"
