To code or not to code..a common dilema
A common question faced by programmers, who’ve spent a decent amount of time coding applications in a software firm is whether moving up the value chain in the organization directly translates into writing less code.This is because unfortunately in many organizations coders are at the bottom of the heap.Once a person moves up the chain there seems to be an aversion to coding,which is strange considering that the person’s good coding skills is what made him move up the chain.I personally think the right way to approach this is to think of coding as a way of keeping in touch with relevant technologies and trends in the industry.Performing in our primary work role does not imply that we loose touch with all the previous roles we have performed in our careers.In the end it is upto the induvidual to decide as to how he balances his time between his primary work role and his passion for coding.
