Have had many hats on in my life: Developer, Team Lead, Scrum Master, Architect and Product Owner. Now back to developer \o/ Interested in product discovery, quality assurance and language design.
Agreed, to a degree. I am an architect, too. In my current position, I rarely have contact with the code. At my last position, I often teamed up with the devs to design code, find bugs, etc. I now realize that this was very valuable and miss that link to the actual code base. By conducting many pairing sessions I got a good code overview that I could put to use by helping design and even debugging code in short chats with devs at the watercooler - it really felt good to hear from the dev that you have helped them solve their problem a few hours or a day later, and I would like to get this feeling back.
I am the same. Coding is what drew me to software. Leaving it behind, even if the problems one solves are higher level, and move bigger blocks, still hurts.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
