Except becoming a "pure" architect exactly means to give up coding. Drawing diagrams on the whiteboard or any kind of an UML editor - and only doing that is not programming. It's probably called "drawing diagrams", but never "coding". So I suppose what I said about disappointment is still true.
- michael_dorfman 19y agoI can only speak for myself and say that it's probably been 5 years since I've written a line of code that ended up in production, but I don't consider myself a "disappointed coder". I still like to code in my spare time-- but at the office, I think I can be more effective writing code indirectly through coders rather than writing code directly.
