- ra88it 10y agoIs this the same writer?
- strictnein 10y agoWait... yeah, isn't it? That makes the 2012 post have a very different feeling, after reading this.

I kind of want to head down the non-programming technical management/leadership path, but I'm just not seeing a way to take that step right now. Same issue as always, people are (supposedly) desperate for managers and leaders with real tech/dev background, but they want you to have technical management experience already. It's not that I don't like programming in general, it's just that so many of the things that many of us get paid well to do are so damn boring.
