Why is the end goal to be a better software engineer? It seems like to me that life itself (and hence work/life balance) should the priority of anyone. If anyone disagrees, I would love to hear your thinking.
- shados 10y agoMany people like to take something they're good at and push it to it's absolute limit. For some it's Starcraft, DOTA or League. For some its parenting. For some its wall climbing. For some it's an open source project. For some its their day job. In that last category, some are software engineers.
- codingdave 10y agoI'm sure many coders do share that goal. If you don't, that is fine... but then you are not the target audience for this article. Ideally, people have careers that they value enough to feel the work is worthwhile for its own sake, and not just a means to collect a paycheck that funds the rest of their lives.
