Occasionally, we may hear someone say:

“I’m not a developer, I don’t think that way”.

Or it might actually be us saying it.

Is being/becoming a developer a learned skill, like any other?

Or do you believe it takes a “special type” to be a developer?

Sure, some prerequisites might be helpful, but to say you cannot become one…

Is that true or a cop-out?

I think it’s an interesting debate in our profession.
