Lame joke, but meaningful....

Found this: http://www.crosstalkonline.org/storage/issue-archives/2011/201107/201107-Cook.pdf[^] in a Software Dev magazine I occasionally follow and thought others might find it meaningful. It hits home, I believe, because a lot of people believe what "Fred" believes. (read the article and you'll get what I mean) -EM

It's only funny because it's true. I have been fighting the good fight for years, but these days I keep getting pulled further and further away from my keyboard to handle vendor contract negotiations, functional/technical requirement documentation, "beta" demos at conferences and all the other mind-numbing details of software development, when all I really want to do is CODE! It's depressing that all the good coders end up being managers and meeting fodder while the newbies/junior/intermediate programmers actually get to experience the joy of code.
