1. You're a builder

It's fascinating to learn how things work. But there's a difference between learning the theory of how things work, and putting those concepts into practice.

If you get satisfaction from building something and seeing it in motion, imagine how good it feels to know the software you worked on is running on peoples' devices around the world. While it does involve sitting at a computer, coding is a hands-on building process, wherein each program has its own design and purpose.

Your creations as a developer affect how people interact with technology on a daily basis.
