thank you for writing this.

i am programming (and-all-that-goes-with-it = mostly-mentoring, both downwards and upwards) for 35 years... and it is somewhat difficult for me to tell the things you wrote there, to my pupils/students/team/s, because i have kind-of found them loooong time ago, and since then have much further understanding, and now i consider them obvious/intrinsic and don't even think about them... and they are not obvious at all.

And yes, i still love programmming very much (although sometimes it is about programming the people. But not direct, it's more like building a language, to enable further things with it :).

Now, if it's only one thing from me: it's all about people. okay, Mostly about some-people somewhere in the chain. Not about code/architecture/....

have fun
