I’m not sure what I even read here. This discussion doesn’t even mention anything about the realities of being a developer now. It seems to assume the modern workplace gives plenty of space for actual programming when it’s anything but the sort. The author should feel lucky they apparently get to program 40 hours a week in the first place.
- itronitron 3y agoIt seems more likely they spend 40 hours a week writing.
- brigadier132 3y agoIt was a lot of rambling. I think the argument is that the next generation is only in it for the money and that you can't count on them all being self driven. My response is, being self driven is not enough to be a "10x" developer and the idea that all your hires would be self driven passionate programmers has never been true..
- kccqzy 3y agoI totally agree with you. But on the other hand I think the industry as a whole should rethink our management practices such that we should enable those individuals to actually contribute so much. Today the author might feel lucky they apparently get to program 40 hours a week; can we make it so that tomorrow everyone who wants to program 40 hours a week can actually do so?
