here's a handy way to prove you're actually a maker and not just a nerd hobbyist:

1) use an arduino to flash an LED

2) ask for help on every single electronics forum you can find

3) try copying and pasting some code from a blog

4) ask for help on every single electronics forum you can find

5) somehow get it working even though you don't understand how

6) put it in an altoids tin

7) write a dozen multi-page blog posts about how "maker culture" is sweeping the world and how people like yourself are the digital prophets of the new millennium

then, and only then, can you be considered a maker

when my work does a Food Truck Day that means the trucks are paid for so the lines move super quick

also we get the good trucks like Korean-Mexican fusion and artisanal ice cream

So it's the complete opposite of 99% of "maker" projects, and that is counting the ones that are 'completed' as in not just a napkin sketch and half complete solderless breadboard project that was 'too hard'.
Also it's kinda like a Pi which explains why the makers vehemently hate the Pi and worship arduino especially when a simple thing would suffice instead and cost less, as the Pi is not too terrible compared for what it professes to be.
