This year I wish to brag about a different kind of accomplishment. </p> <p>After 20+ years of middle management positions, where I talked a lot about the software lifecycle but I did not develop it myself, I have found a way to make my brain focus for long enough to be able to code again.</p> <p>For the last 2 years, in my spare time, I have become a happy junior-ish JavaScript / node.js developer. The first thing I did was the 21st century version of a simple game that I built when I was 16 (swapping Turbo Pascal for JavaScript /jQuery, of course). And I take pride in having a handful of live Alexa Skills. </p> <p>So, there. Should I lose my middle management job, I have transferrable skills. And I think that's awesome.</p> wecoded
