I do wonder the category of “builder” is real as opposed to a self-congratulatory identity. Yes people build, but it’s a messy and loose group not a tight and coherent identity group. It’s like the difference between people who work in science vs people who post “I fucking love science” slogans

I’ve been making this kinda comparison to seamstresses, patternmakers, and other roles within fashion. A lot of people also disqualifying themselves before any self-congratulation enters the mind.

Yep. I think I build but I definitely disqualify myself out of this identity group
