Lately I took some time to think about how learning to code over the past six years actually changed me, and these are the things I came up with:

I agreed with points one to three. I disagree with four because in my opinion perfectionism gets more in the way than it helps. I would phrase it differently: Attention to detail.
I also got the following points from beeing a developer: patience and grit 😅
In retrospect - Yes, I totally agree with you 😄 its all about the right balance 🍃
My thoughts are that there are just as many bad people in development as there are in the population at large. Being a developer does not make you intrinsically a good person. While it's nice you're introspective and feel like it's made you a better person, that's just your case and you probably were a good person before going down the development path.
I agree with all but I would put a hint to perfectionism. Perfectionism could be dangerous sometimes.
I feel worse because of random issues raised by frontend techs.
It's a pain in most case, but the more pain you get, the more joyful your result will become.
Without pain, we couldn't satisfy ourselves !
Feel so blessed after reading this.
Well, that is very nice, and we need more people like you in the engineering world, but be careful, not everyone is so kind and positive.
I mention this to add ad bit of realism, not to disappoint.
I was lucky and I always worked in good places and never had any problem, but I have some friends, both guys, and girls, who had problems, and, unfortunately, it is more common to have a problem being a girl, due to, traditionally, engineering and technology were male dominant fields, which is changing, but we are still there.
Think that there are some old styled people out there, so, not always you will receive those positive reactions back, reactions that can be worse and that could be more frustrating if you are a girl.
I hope you are lucky, and never had any issue, but if you receive at some time these negative reactions, let them make you stronger: keep going on, and don't let them steal your positiveness.
All the best, @jessyve !

I'm a worse person but a better computer, my partner would agree. Beep boop 🤖
