When do you become a developer?

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.<p>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?<p>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.<p>Do you agree? Interested to hear thoughts on this.
