@timmitra History of “ Artist” The Greek word "techně", often
translated as "art," implies mastery of any sort of craft. The adjectival Latin form of the word, "technicus",became the source of the English words technique, technology, technical. –Wikipedia

@timmitra

@timmitra Present Day Artist is a descriptive term applied to
a person who engages in an activity deemed to be an art. An artist also may be deﬁned unofﬁcially as "a person who expresses him- or herself through a medium".

@timmitra – Renaissance Man “ A polymath (Greek "having learned
much”) is a person whose expertise spans a significant number of different subject areas; such a person is known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems..”

@timmitra artist The term may also be used loosely or
metaphorically to denote highly skilled people in any “non-art” activities, as well — law, medicine, mechanics, or mathematics, for example

@timmitra –Wikipedia “ An artist is a person engaged in
one or more of any of a broad spectrum of activities related to creating art, practicing the arts or demonstrating an art.”

@timmitra –an iOS & macOS developer “But we’re not artists.”

@timmitra –United States Department of Labor “Software developers are the
creative minds behind computer programs.   Some develop the applications that allow people to do specific tasks on a computer or another device.   Others develop the underlying systems that run the devices or that control networks”

@timmitra – Simon Sineck “They buy why you do it.”
“People don’t buy what you do…” “Start with Why?”

@timmitra Why How What

@timmitra What are you doing? – sivers.org “If you really
want to make a lot of money, you need to admit that. If you really want to be famous, you need to pursue that. If you really want freedom and no responsibilities, or to learn as much as possible, or whatever else, you need to realize it and embrace it.”

@timmitra –me, again “The reason why you are making apps
is to make a difference in people's lives.”

@timmitra – Dead Poet’s Society “We don't read and write
poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.”

@timmitra – Dead Poet’s Society “To quote from Whitman, 'O
me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?' Answer. That you are here — that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?”
