I want to say "I develop software" in Japanese so I thought that I should use
the verb する. But I can also say "I write software" and use the verb かく. So
which of the following sentences is the correct one/used the most?

> ソフトエアをかく。==> I write software.
>
> ソフトエアをする。==> I do (develop) software.

Similarly I thought that I can use the word source code/code in order to say
"I code"/"I am coding":

> ソズコードをかく。
>
> ソズコードをする。

Which one of the above is the correct one?

question
translation verbs
When I need to say "I develop software" in Japanese which verb is the appropriate one?
As mentioned in the comment above, the more/most common way to say this is
either

>   * ソフト(ウエア)を開発しています → (lit.) I develop software  
>  or
>   * ソフト開発をしています → I "do" software development
>

(notice the different placement of 開発).

Also, remember that you don't necessarily need a verb to get your point
across. Depending on the context, you could simply say

>   * (私は)ソフト開発者です → I'm a software developer
>

Then if your listener/audience doesn't know what all that entails, you can
expound on it with specifics ("I write source code", "I create user
documentation", etc.)
