I'm transferring my site to a new (cheaper) server and just spent hours finding a problem that it would have taken me minutes to find four years ago.
(I moved the site from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server Express and didn't realize that the DB constraints and Identity values didn't come over.) Ever since my company merged I've been moving farther and farther away from what I really know (knew?) how to do. I used to do interface development, human factors, ColdFusion, JavaScript, Database Design, etc - build WebSites. Now I spend my time opening tickets, doing support, tracking down people that have permission to do things I could do myself in seconds, running support calls, putting together deployment plans, etc. I don't really have the option to bail (and I'm not sure if I'd truly want to even if I could), but it's really sinking in: I either have to look for a new job or settle with the fact that I'm no longer a "programmer" but a "middle manager". Damn... these little epiphanies sometimes kick you right in the balls, don't they? I'm one of those middle-aged guys that says "I used to be a programmer", aren't I?
