While most of the article is good (not that my opinion as a developer without a keen interest in management matters that much), there's a particular sentence I can't agree with:

> Fortunately for you, coding is no longer your highest value skill.

No, coding is the most valuable skill; without the code, there's no product. Maybe I'm biased, but I just can't agree with the implication that what creates the product is not the most important part of, well, the company selling that product.

It's why, if I ever manage to start a company, the developers in it would always have the highest salaries possible (within the company at least).
