  1. What it means to be a developer!?
  2. Can I consider myself a developer by developing businesses of others around me!?
  3. How long will it take for me to master all this with no one to share working experience!?

  1. A programmer is someone who writes programs. Any other definition is a true scottman fallacy
  2. I don't get the question
  3. You will never master it all. What you should focus is how fast you are learning things. Invest in your learning

What it means to be a developer!?
All that means is someone who can read write and interpret code. And someone who really just knows how to problem solve overall.

Can I consider myself a developer by developing businesses of others around me!? You can consider yourself a developer anytime. Even if you're just starting out there is not like one specific day the code gods will come down and grant you the title developer lol.

How long will it take for me to master all this with no one to share working experience!?
So for this one I will say you will never master it. You will get extremely good at problem-solving. As things are always changing and it will all come down to how much time you are willing to spend working on projects of your own. And how much time you spend studying. Also while you don't have someone to share working experience with. You do have a massive community of people to ask questions to who are willing to help. Which will allow you to learn so much faster.
