What would bring software developers satisfaction if there were no big challenges to take or significant goals to achieve? Imagine such coders who will take pleasure in performing only trivial and irrelevant tasks – ridiculous, right? As we all know, software developers are like superheroes with coding superpowers eager to challenge themselves with doing great things that can save the world – or at least make it a better place. But what about minor issues that are not so “epic”? Well, superheroes also take care of trivial missions like saving cats stuck in a tree, but does it make them great?
