> I've thought about this since the early part of this year when a middle manager in my company's Communications department dismissively told me that she could do my job because, "I know code." What does that even mean?

Frustrating. And I know how to read and write, but it doesn’t mean I could write a decent novel.

What a lot of people don’t understand about software development is that for any non-trivial project, “coding” is the easy part, the real challenge is in the managing of complexity.
