You need Software Developers to believe in your project (2020)
As a dev in a business environment, I don't care about your project. At all.
It's going to be run-of-the-mill business app, storage, front-end, logic. There will be nothing exciting or interesting for me whatsoever. I don't care about your case management, insurance leads, or Teams Governance. Becuase I'm a human with human interests (writing code, and dreaming of a decent Transformers movie before I die), your projects are not interesting, and they will not invest me.<p>However for every project I take on, there will always be something I have never done before, or a maybe some new technique I want to try, could be a new language. That's where the engagement comes from.<p>I don't care about the project, I care about writing code (and exploring writing code) to the best of my ability (and to the best of the project constraints).<p>If I've done my job well, that means I learned something new/had fun and the project will never burn my screen pixels ever again.
