> never do anything as satisfying as coding

What a narrow world view.

There are “schmoozers” who are completely satisfied and coders who dread their work lives...

There are also schmoozers who create value beyond anything many single coders could ever dream of: by raising capital, creating multimillion sales, persuading and inspiring others, etc.

And I say this as someone who switched from a management job to designing and coding because I personally find it much more fulfilling.

You're taking one single phrase out of context and getting bent out of shape.

Just assume the people you're writing to aren't all idiots. If you really think OP meant what you thought, ask them.

They completely - and I mean completely - changed the comment from what I read this morning.

The original quote or calling non-coders “schmoozers” (their words, not mine), are in fact, no longer there as far as I can see.

It wasn’t taken out of context, there was not that much nuance to the sentence I quoted.

Ah, I see. I had completely forgotten editing comments was possible.

Apologies.
