A common myth about software developers is that they’re boring and dry geeks, who were math geniuses at school, that spend hours in front of computer screens writing code.

Yes, developers may spend their life in front of computer screens writing code. However, there is much more to it than just coding like a machine the whole day. For me personally, being a developer means you have the chance to build cool stuff by yourself.
