RE: How to Be a "Real" Programmer

in #programming8 years ago

The final point rings very true. The adage to 'always be coding' is absolute nonsense. Whether you see coding as an art/craft or simply a paid job, no one is always doing the same thing. A musician isn't playing her instrument every waking minute, and a plumber isn't fixing his clients' pipes every second of the day. Both need time off to pursue other interests. Software developers are exactly the same.
