I work with pedagogies, teach, write curricula, coach, manage, mentor, consult, speak publicly, polemicize, and sometimes work as a full-stack web developer, architect, ontologist, and more.
What I'd like to know is why OSS is full of devs, but I rarely see any technical writers, designers, etc. devoting their free time to projects. We could sure use some great technical writers.
I believe that to programmers, programming can be like play, or yields the joy of building/accomplishing. I don't know that the other fields related to programming experience this phenomenon, with the software as the principal product, e.g., I was once professional software QA, and I never had a desire to do any testing outside of my job; and are there many people in the world who love to write descriptions and instructions of things?
