Be Creative
Writing code is incredibly creative. Just like you can write a novel or pen a poem, you can also build an application or website with code. And, unlike most other forms of creative expression, programming offers instant feedback on your progress. As long as you have an idea and a computer (and maybe some free time), there are no limits to what you can create.
The same is true when you build something that has never been created before. Perhaps it’s a tool, an application, or even a website. There’s no telling what kind of impact you can make on others until you try to do something that’s never been done before. It could be a great achievement—or maybe just a fun experiment—but either way, you’ll learn from your experience and grow as a person.
To see how much room there is for creativity in software development, consider how many different kinds of developers there are: front-end developers, back-end developers, mobile developers (and more). Each one works with different technologies and tools to create unique applications and websites; they all have their own strengths and weaknesses.
