After a hard day at the code face, even the most spectacularly dull things become interesting in a way that they just wouldn't do at other times.
I'm not sure whether this is due to:
a) cognitive changes induced by being in the code zone
b) the simple fact that the thing in question isn't written in SQL
c) insanity.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

You need a lot of power sometimes to accept a code construct as "that won't work".
Get over it, delete it, start fresh.
So many people stick to old, grown code and just can't imagine to rewrite it. Often a rewrite takes less time than to try to fix the mess that's going on.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

It should be "Which Super Powers are you expected to have as a Developer?"
The answer is ALL the abilities plus "other".

I'm able to spot false assumptions from almost 3 km (line of sight). This allows me to imbue invalid conclusions with a slightly glowing, off-putting reddish color. Spontaneously, my powers cause promising ways forward to glimmer at intensities and frequencies that are in proportion to the paths degree of propitiousness.

Additionally, I can leap over small buildings - with a bit of a run up.
Very small buildings.

For me, one of the coolest aspects is creating my own tools. Imagine, you're a carpenter and need a drill. Instead of buying one, you build one. That's how it feels to be a programer.

Almost everything I've done is at least one layer of abstraction removed from practical reality. There are a few notable exceptions though, one in particular comes to mind.

How do you live alone and "with a woman" at the same time?
Either there's a flaw in your logic or your sleeping in separate rooms!

Easy peasy.
If there's a kid in the house, you live with the missus and kid.
If there's not - you live alone with the missus.

|
|
Yeah, what I meant was there are no kids to validate my existence. So I go it alone.

This ability allows the wielder to warp reality into upper managements perception of it. Or.. Lets turn the real into the unreal.

The most happy moment is when I know that my applications help people solve their problems, do repeated jobs, save their time and furthermore save their lives.
