Agree or disagree?

Agree, definitely

Is he saying if you stuck in coding you need to try being a WA, software tester, Scrum master, business analyst, etc?

He's essentially saying that if you can't be a software engineer, you should be something else. Kinda hard to argue against...

Sort of agree but at the same time if you think you aren’t good enough then go and learn stuff, get good.

@Lucky-Loek I think he is saying you don’t have to a perfect coder to be a software developer

@hardfault meh semantics I guess. The requirements part --> business analyst. The keen estimator part --> good manager. The good mentor part --> scrum master/decent human being.

They all have roles in software development but they're not engineering software themselves. They're helping the engineers to deliver the best work they can. Very valuable and necessary but to me there's a reason that people chose those roles: they hate/can't do software engineering.

@Lucky-Loek In a smaller company all those things are required by / valued in developers.. at least in my experience.

Not much to disagree with here 🤷🏾‍♂️

Agree

Agree, and that's the problem for me. I'm good with the strictly tech part. I know (and care) rather less about business process improvement or resource planning.

I've seen people who are great at programming in very different ways. Personally, i value team work and clean code over "genius". I can't work with someone whose code is illegible

So what you're saying is, if you're bad at programming, become something else, other than a programmer. Cool.
