I believe the correct term for a “standards terrorist” is actually “Standardista”.

My business card says Web Maestro. But my business partner calls me the “code cowboy” when I put in dangerous code just before we leave for the weekend.

Thanks for the suggestions!
I do like “standards terrorists”, since it’s a perfect description of some people.

Code monkey was one of the given ones I should have had. Web Sourcerer was the clever one.

But out of all, I must really say that cattle-coding depicts some of my work duties…
