Times are great for programmers now. How does it end?
I feel like we have so much leverage and don't use it at all.<p>We're still attending stand-ups every day with non programmers telling us when we can and cannot refactor. It'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'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.
