I've been a coder.
I've been a manager.
I've owned a firm that had 15 employees.
Of all of these, I prefer to be a coder.
I'm just 5 years away from 50, and let me tell you: not only do I want to be a developer at 50, I want to be a developer at 70.
Being a developer means getting paid good money to work on problems that are perfectly suited to my INTJ / spergy personality. There's nothing else I'd rather do with my (work) time.
- kyled 10y agoWhat did your firm do?
- tjic 10y agoI owned two businesses: * SmartFlix.com (dvd rental business) * Heavyink.com (comic book ecommerce)
- steveax 10y agoI'm 5 years on the other side of 50 and similar story. Did 8 years in the game industry, 3D and technical art, then as a co-founder of a small (22 employees at height) game studio, coding since then. Still love it - and yes I have a plan :-)
