Markus, it was fine! "Code monkey" is a term that can be meant
derogatively or ironically, but is rarely (and should never be) taken
seriously. Especially when someone uses it to refer to themselves,
and also when it is used to refer to people clearly 'running the
show' as with this little gathering. :-)
In England this could be considered irony. Alanis Morissette, take note.
