The one way to stay a programmer and avoid the tyranny of being 'managed' by a manager is to create a startup for oneself. Sure, you have to do more than just code -- but you can still code on your own terms, and it feels awesome to code for your customer instead of some requirements doc written by a manager with a pointy head.
- xsmasher 17y agoI see what you're saying, but at the same time, you're going to get a new appreciation for all of the "useless" managers, slimy salesweasels, and busybodies around the office. In a healthy organization, they keep the real world at bay so you can program. At your startup, you're going to be doing your own marketing, answering your own phone, ordering your own supplies from Staples... I bet you'll spend less time programming, not more.
