When did it click for people to feel comfortable calling themselves a “dev” instead of a “non dev”?
Shipping 1st product, avoiding StackOverflow for 24 hours, receiving first job or client work or just a conscious decision?

Probably after shipping my first self-made product. I hadn't graduated from undergrad when it first launched, but I still felt like I could "do it."

Mhh, good question. Maybe when I started to code for fun.
But when you start getting paid for coding, that's probably a pretty good sign you can call yourself a "dev" now.
