Want to highlight this -- it's very rare but hugely valuable to be able to look at the business' needs and solve them, versus "I just work on what they tell me to"
- bdcravens 6y agoIt's said there's 2 kinds of people in the workforce: workers and bosses. It's not about who's a supervisor, as much as whether you can see the big picture or would rather to just focus on your job. No reason why this wouldn't also apply to higher-level jobs like programming.
- gitgud 6y agoThis is true, but let's not forget that business problems can become engineering problems and vice versa. Sometimes adding features (solving business problems) gets so tedious that engineering problems need to be addressed!
