This is the second time today I've seen developer = magician. :) I don't consider myself a magician (or a ninja) but I've been coding for 25-ish years. (oof I feel old admitting that!) I started at age 11 and have been at it ever since. I have a BS in Computer Science because "back in the day" no one took you seriously if you didn't have a degree (esp if you're a woman... ) My favorite projects are the ones that have a real impact on real people and their problems. I've spent a lot of time in health and ed tech, and some time in fintech. I'm a polygot though I loathe PHP. Happy to be here! :)
