> As you long, as you write software by yourself, you are not much different than a plumber .. you work with your hands.
There is one small difference - a plumber needs to design some piping and then execute it which takes more time than designing. After writing code, programmer just presses a button and results are made by computer. Otherwise, there is some overlap. There are many programmers, who are not more skilled than a skilled plumber or whose job is not more crative than that of a plumber, but we call them "juniors".
Yes, of course and copying and use something is almost for free in the digital domain vs real world.
