Is it only me that I feel I am so special for being a programmer, and also able to think, learn, and analyze better than other people?

I feel like we are small group of people that do magical things that change the world while nobody even realizes or appreciates what we do

I feel it everyday..

My dad works in construction and what he does is changing the world more than I ever will as a developer. His company are right now building a hospital. I don't understand all the things he does with piping water, electricity and building walls that can last for generations.

What we're doing is just something different. We're not smarter than anyone else, just different. It's nothing wrong with that but I don't think we're very special. I mean what does most developers do? Not everyone works at google, most people create websites and apps. How much of a genius do you have to be to do that?

Unless you're in research, you're not really changing the world. Unless you're building something that will blow up to affect the lives of the human race, you're not *really* changing the world.

Be proud of what you are and what you do (we all are), but don't get ahead of yourself. That applies to everyone, programmer or not.

Don't convince yourself you're greater than everyone else or you're "special". You don't want to be _that_ Tumblr.

Especially when it allows you to create a script/program to make life easier.
