Yeah sorry bad link.

The first time I sat at a keyboard I loved coding. I was a manager for a couple years and got proficient but never got the joy I had coding.

I’ve gone back to coding (team lead 80% hands on, won’t lead a team bigger than 6). I’m happy again and getting paid >200k through contracting.

Don’t stop yourself going back if you don’t get a buzz out of your job. Nothing else really matters.

During my maths degree I would often try to solve problems last thing at night. If I could not solve a problem. I’d Go to sleep. I would have no recollection of solving the problem but in the morning I would often be able to immediately solve the problem.

This could have been down to a fresh brain but the speed at which I would solve the problem in the morning and pretty much just know the solution I’m convinced I was solving the problem in my sleep and then basically just writing it down when I woke.

I love this article. It makes so much sense, applies to other areas and bucks the current trend or micro managing yourself.

Imagine what telling someone who suffers from anxiety that they suffer from anxienty does!
