Developers are tough.

They can sit 16 hours in front of a computer.

They can bypass regular sleep when passionate by an idea.

They go layer after layer building a considerable chain of logical paths in their brains.

Yes, they dress casually. Being simple saves time.

Developers get along with each other quick. All they need is to speak the same mother tongue:

Developer: Do you know JavaScript ?
Stranger : Errr.... Yes!
Developer : (Smile). Whaaaats up!?!

Developers have bugs to fix, which requires to step into someone else’s shoes and understand their logic. It can take from 5 mins to days in complete Armageddon.

They also appreciate simplicity to higher levels. If they do not see logical beauty in some technology or framework, they will spend energy elsewhere.

Developers have a deep love for automating everything around them. They need to do things faster and with less effort otherwise their work becomes unbearable. Do not confuse that with laziness.

They are bodybuilders for logical thinking, stepping over pain and stress while muscling their thoughts.

They are mental beasts, often with a geek sweetness and fragile face.

Watch out.

In today’s world they are getting ahead as never before, making fortunes, being stars in the news.

They are conquering the world.
