The best part of being dev is the community, its also the most unique one IMHO. I mean what other profession in the Whole Wide World has such great and ingrained culture of helping eachother and sharing knowledge ?

Cause with enough experience and time I can do anything anyone else can and more.

A painter can paint a painting by hand, I can paint the same painting by code.

A musician can create a song on an instrument, I can create the same song by code.

A teacher can teach. I can teach a computer to teach teachers how to teach.

For me it's having a world of possibilities at my fingertips. My imagination is my limit.

Grateful clients that weren't being an ass to begin with.
Or maybe the feeling when you make something really cool or that took a lot of work and it functions the way it's supposed too :)

Best thing about being a dev? Getting that precious green bar during test-driven development!
