When do you become a developer? (stephsmith.io)

Hey HN. After teaching myself to code over the last year and launching multiple products, I thought I would at some point “feel” more like a developer.

For whatever reason that feeling hasn’t changed, so I decided to run a poll to see when others thought the inflection point really happened. When does someone really “become” a developer?

I thought the responses to the poll (N=300+) were really interesting and perhaps the lack of alignment in the responses led me to discover that maybe there wasn’t a defining point.

Do you agree? Interested to hear thoughts on this.
