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

The words we use matter, the words we use also don't matter

Shipping matters, not shipping is a problem. I just want to reinforce that goal, whatever words makes people feel comfortable I'll happily use.

Imagine if someone said I will only create a thing as an entrepreneur, I won't do it as a builder, that'd be silly
