Is that even possible? I'm currently the lowest of the low code monkey with no extra responsibilities but I code for maybe 10% of my time if that. Mostly I coordinate with other people to get info about what's broken this week and when it will be fixed and how soon we can deploy the code that I wrote in 5 minutes last week and who I need to get on board for it. I kind of get it to some extent, code is a liability that's expensive to maintain, but my god it's mind numbing some days. The idea of spending 80% of my time coding is absurd. I'd settle for 25%.
- hiAndrewQuinn 3y agoI do think I'm as good as someone could reasonably be at getting the actual devs the info they need and then getting the hell out of their way. I chalk it up to the study and note taking habits I myself have, since I often leave my side projects lying around for months at a time between donors. Maybe that's why I ended up here. Maybe getting 5 folks like you from 10% to 12% coding time makes a bigger difference than adding my own 10% to the pile :(
