Software developer sounds like more of the same, however with a product for sale at the end. And consultant is, in the minds of numerous, simply someone who does not have a “task”.
Go into “maker”. To quote Wikipedia:
” The maker culture is a contemporary culture or subculture representing a technology-based extension of DIY culture that intersects with hacker culture which is less worried with physical objects (opposed to software) and the production of brand-new devices (opposed to tinkering with existing ones). Normal interests taken pleasure in by the maker culture include engineering-oriented pursuits such as electronic devices, robotics, 3-D printing, and making use of CNC tools, as well as more conventional activities such as metalworking, woodworking, and, primarily, its predecessor, the traditional arts and crafts. The subculture stresses a cut-and-paste approach to standardized enthusiast innovations, and encourages cookbook re-use of designs released on websites and maker-oriented publications. There is a strong concentrate on utilizing and finding out practical abilities and applying them to reference styles.

There is a strong focus on using and finding out useful abilities.
What a computer oriented term, eh? “Real” developers like to “clone” existing programs as use already proven performance for new projects. Is that the awareness of “cut-and-paste”, or what?
A watchmaker can be called a ” horologist”, however that seems somewhat snobbish or clinical/academic. Exact same with dressmaker vs. modiste or seamstress.

Well, duh. Thats my (our) world. Nothing in the huge world of technology is out-of-bounds for a “genuine” developer.

Yes, programs is more or less a “culture”. Or, at least a “subculture” of the greater tech culture.

And, by nature a “real” programmer is likewise a hacker. Who does not wish to peek under the hood to discover how a program “does that”? In this case, interest makes the feline smarter. (Hopefully).

And, heres the part that really explains me. Yes, in spite of my high-tech task and experience, I have a huge interest in all of those things, particularly CNC tools (which I drool over). Making things with my hands, and not simply my mind, is a complex part of my nature.
