In general, this article seems pretty weak. It's light on actual arguments (including any real arguments for its titular conclusion) and instead is basically saying "I'm successful and happy despite calling myself a programmer, so you should too." > The impact of these choices on relationships could thus be weighted as more important than the impact on career advancement because it's more predictable. That's an extremely lazy argument. Something can easily be both very hard to predict and also crucially important. For a business example, it's much easier to predict the cost of your rent than it is to predict the success of your employees but the latter is much more important to success.
