first "code ninjas" now "street fighting" engineers and "martial art" engineers? really? I feel like these monikers are getting a little silly especially since you'd never see the reverse.
The reverse/inverse is taking about a physical sport in cerebral terms, like the other commenter comparing boxing to chess. Another analogy would be someone talking about their music like (a) code.
Sure, but no one is comparing a quarterback with a physicist or in this case a programmer. I just think that our field is developing descriptions of ourselves to over embellish what we actually do and it's not necessary. We sit behind computers, think, and write code. We're not swashbuckling, throwing stars, or grappling with opponents in the streets.
