I think we're all missing my point here. I enjoy writing code too, probably always will. But I still don't see myself being a coder for my whole career. Am I the only one who think that being a code monkey isn't the loftiest of career goals?
I want more money, more responsibility, more benefits, more challenges, etc. I just don't see those things happening for me if I stay a coder my whole career. There's much more room for advancement (as in a CTO, like Dave here!) beyond the keyboard. And I'm not talking being a business manager, I'm talking IT-related management.
