Just Posted It is customary for our company to get managers from the consultants. Some of them though do very little consultancy or dance the consultant - customer - manager jig: work with the company, get hired from a customer, return to the company as manager. Biggest problem of managers coming from the trenches is that they have the illusion of knowledge which is much more dangerous than lack of knowledge.

29mins ago Once you have been in the business for a while you realize there is way more to life than coding. Whether you act on this realization is a whole other matter. I know, there those of you out there who will say that you are still addicted to coding after 25 years or so, and well, I feel sorry for you. I enjoy what I do, and I am very good at it, but I am not addicted to it. I turn it on, and 8-10 hours later, I turn it off. I rarely code on weekends. Weekends are my time with family and my hobbies (not computer related, not video games).

So they came to me and asked me if I could build this for them, of course I could. Except, they really wanted to build it using a no-code platform which I won't mention here, but we'll call it X. With X, you could drag 'n drop web interfaces, a database and business logic. I'd never heard of X, but I was willing to learn and their technical guy and I went for a training day (they paid for me, but I didn't charge my hours).
