I was somewhat kidding. I don't (at this point) want to give up coding. I don't want to manage people I don't want to worry about other people's paychecks I actually don't want to worry about mine.
I do like some of the "technologist" and business analysis work I am doing now, but I still prefer my week over 50% coding. I would miss the creative outlet without it. Even though the technologist work is creative in a different direction. I realize I will never buy a $300,000 boat on my salary, but I have friends that own them, and they are a pain.
