i’m not calling anyone out but something the last year has really taught me is how many coders think of themselves as sculptors or painters, rather than builders or plumbers

not that related but it sounds like it is, close enough

I'll have to go back and revisit those, it's been a long time but I think that's the idea -- this is a painter and this is a painter, and saying "I'm a painter" is accurate as a job description but insufficient at describing basically anything else

i always thought coders who called themselves artists were speaking metaphorically, like in a taking pride in your craft-sense
