Product designer is what I should be doing, and will be doing from here on. In my definition of product design, the ideal skill-set is a UI designer who works mostly in front-end code.
- michaelochurch 14y agoGood plan. 2 dirty secrets of the software industry: 1. Programming itself can be more fun than 99% of what people get paid to do, at least if you're building new stuff and in at least enough of a leadership role that you're not constantly keeping up with other peoples' changes. 2. 85% of real-world programming work is crappy maintenance and you need some independent credibility (e.g. "X who programs") in something else-- product, data science, finance-- to dodge it and keep getting the good stuff that builds your career.

- danielzarick 14y agoFantastic advice. I think you are definitely correct. Luckily I am design/product who can code (a bit), plus the added business and sales ability.
