Introduction.
It is true to say that behind every software developer's career, there is an incredible truth as to why they developed a passion for the field.
Consequently, in this article, I purpose to share mine with you.
Passion to create amazing staff.
Finding a solution to a problem that has been around for a long time but no one knows how to solve is the best feeling in the world.
As a software developer, it is one's job to always find solutions to the problems of your users.
One can work on both quick fixes and longer-term, more complex strategies at the same time.
Developers of software should be able to break down big goals into smaller ones that are easier to reach. You also need to be able to think about many things at once.
That means moving smaller tasks around and seeing if some of them aren't needed, so you can get more done in less time.
In the same way, software engineers try to save time by making solutions that don't have to be reworked every time a parameter changes. " How lovely would it be if I could make an application of my choice ?" I always asked myself.
To unleash my creativity.
Creativity also comes into play when trying to come up with well-thought-out, complicated solutions to get the most out of your computer.
When you use code to create your masterpiece, you start with a blank screen and a vague list of ideas.
A software developer does many things, and one of them is to be creative. Hence, I felt obliged to test the levels of my creativity in the software development career.
What the career entails.
The fact that the work is project-based is another reason as to why I decided to become a software developer.
Each new project presents a whole new set of problems to solve, giving you the opportunity to learn about new technologies, different systems, and different areas of the business.
Project-based work also gives you a sense of structure, as it's likely that you'll be due before you embark on your next exciting project.
The career exposure.
Starting from my first line of code, to being an expert in Kotlin language, I always knew that software development would offer me the chance to continuously learn and share new ideas.

Technology changes quickly, so software engineers must be able to learn new programming languages and technologies and adapt to an environment that is always changing.
Developers often have the chance to learn about businesses and industries that are always changing, in addition to learning about technology.
This is a great way to learn new things and keep your mind sharp. It also helps keep things interesting at work.
The learning process.
It's not true that programmers sit alone in a room and code all day. Most developers don't work alone.
One also needs to be able to talk to people and work well with other people.
As part of a team, you often need to share your knowledge and ideas, learn about good development practices and how systems work, and try to make the final product as good as possible.
A lot of the time, developers work with people from different departments.
This lets you learn from what other people know. I personally got a chance to learn from communities on google. Andela
Conclusion.
Software development is a great job for people who like to solve problems in creative ways, get along well with others, and are interested in technology.
However, it is key to know that it's hard to teach yourself how to program, and the path isn't as clear as you might think.
Every day, people run into problems they didn't expect.
It's easy to give up if you don't have the right motivation and help. Just don't give in to the challenges yet!!
