well, it's a gradient, and the only way to move up is years of practice. i liken it to any skilled trade. you can probably fix your kitchen table or change the brake rotor on your car but you're probably not qualified to work at a bespoke furniture shop or the porsche dealership - but you could be, if you really tried, or if you got lucky. and if you did get lucky, you could probably figure it out with some help. some people just can't do these things, no matter how hard they try. they simply don't possess the aptitude, or iq, or whatever you want to call it. maybe just plain old discipline. the interesting thing about programming to me is it's easy to lose - i'm totally unqualified to do anything serious these days because for the past 5 years i've spent most of my time running a business and doing 'housekeeping' technical (sysadmin, very light dev, some ops stuff) tasks that i don't want my senior devs to do. |
