## About this talk
I have interviewed over 1000 developers about their work. The most important thing I learned is not a feature or need, but rather a mindset and paradigm, and it's the fact that coding is a craft. It's a skill that grows with knowledge and wisdom, and much more. In this talk, we'll discuss what this means and how this mindset can make a positive difference in our developer journeys.

### This talk will cover
- 4 characteristics of a "craft"
- Why coding is a craft based on those definitions
- The implication and impact of this mindset 
- Ways and tools to help us start treating coding as a craft
