• Software developers are very communicative and rather open about their work and knowledge. Just take a look at Hashnode, SE, etc. I have yet to see a similar platform for technical engineering.
• We love our work. So much that we build extras into it just for us and call them "eastereggs". And we are happy if someone finds them some decade later.
• Most of our work is handiwork. Even if we use transpilers, the original source was still written by a person.
• We make mistakes, and we can easily correct them (with a patch). Just think about someone screwing up when working as a dentist >.<
• We are proud of making mistakes! Because we learn from them :)

• We need to keep in touch with the last technologies, new incomers, new outcomers, what is more interesting to our apps
• We need to have an open mindset, try to find new ways to make things easier and more efficient. It's not okey with only "working" need to be easy to extend, and share with others coworkers
• In our profession it's so typical to change of company or work so often either to a better salary, a better workplace, to change of company sector, other technological stack or whatever.
• We need to have a wide view from to make some functional, documentations and schemes before start developing, have the nice point of view during developing and finding new ways to upgrade our product, project or whatever
• It's interesting go to fairs, meetups, katas and similar events, to stay in touch with the community and exchange opinions, experiences and some more

At last we need to enjoy our work, it's not only a job, I think it's a style of life, because you need to reinvent you with the past of the years, and become a better developer. Nowadays nobody wants a developer limited. Most of the companies want a versatile developer that can solve problems and not only doing algorithms.

Software developers are unable to prescribe medication. (Unless you consider caffeine a medication). :)
