What do you mean when you say they "turned apocryphal"? I've never seen the term apocryphal used like that before.
- patientplatypus 9y agoThey can talk about code at a deep level but if they try and sit down to write anything they can't. Essentially sales meetings turn programmers into just more sales people. It's incredibly sad.
- JustSomeNobody 9y agoAlmost at that point now myself. I have a deep understanding of our business and I have no problems designing new solutions to business needs but lately when I open up the IDE it's like staring at a white piece of paper and I think, "ok now what?" I just don't have enough coding time to stay in practice. Once I do get some time to get going it starts to flow, so I'm not that far gone yet. Really, I think I just need to move on but I love the industry I'm in so it's hard to make that decision.
