I've always preferred Zed Shaw's notion: "You're much better off using code as your secret weapon in another profession. ... People who can code in biology, medicine, government, sociology, physics, history, and mathematics are respected and can do amazing things to advance those disciplines." At some point, I'll actually take that advice and be a something-else-who-can-program, but that hasn't happened yet.
