Forget that, approaching 60, still code every day. Management is for those who have management skills and want to do it. Coding is for the rest of us who want it. Saw how strong software would be as a kid in the 1970's and realized it was an industry whose dynamics were unlike any other industry, ever.

Unfortunately brilliant software engineers are often managed by, what Steve Jobs called "bozos". That's why eng need to step up and do what they would never otherwise do and start managing. Otherwise bozos will keep gain power and being in control.

Wow. Never liked Jobs but never saw that video either. I couldn't stop shaking my head yes slowly.

I think it's one of the first industries, if not the first, that has the perfect combination of scalable output from workers, workers being potentially smarter than their bosses, and success being much less about relationships than skills, compared to many other industries.
