Times are great for programmers now. How does it end?
I feel like we have so much leverage and don&#x27;t use it at all.<p>We&#x27;re still attending stand-ups every day with non programmers telling us when we can and cannot refactor. It&#x27;s nuts to me that a skilled profession - that not many can do - lets themselves get micro-managed like this.<p>If anyone has read <i>Developer Hegemony</i>, I&#x27;m fully on board with that general premise - we start operating like lawyers with partnerships, and turn bosses into customers. Though that does require us to think of ourselves as professionals not nerds who are too smart for business.
