The thing with writing code, is that often time, engineers are moving away from working with other engineers.
The more scope you get at your work, the more you work with non coding people: an architect that might not code in your language, a PM who might not code at all, a team lead who is not a programmer, a potential client.
- lifeisstillgood 3y agoMy implication is that they should read code. Software literacy needs to be society wide. Look loads of managers these days say "I used to code but now I moved to management I don't do that." No one says "I used to read and write English but now I have moved to management I don't do that". Because sometime around 1500 using writing to communicate and set policy became so powerful that's how you ran a large (religious) organisation (in Europe).
