Writing software is exciting… true.

But managing a group of people and to see them (or the company) grow… can be very exciting too!

..which is why I never want to work for a large company.

His problem is about putting things in another one’s perspective. Sooo few people can do that.

Consulting for small businesses seems to give you a broader perspective. At least that’s my subjective impression.

Amen to that
I like to believe writing software is more free than managing a large corporation. There’s more directions you can go.

but obviously there may be many degrees (of freedom?) between software developer and top CEO.

And _that_ is why I will _never_ allow myself to be promoted to any kind of management position. I like writing software. So getting rich takes a little longer, at least I can spend (many) of my days doing exciting things.

Of course, in its way, software is a bit like prodding numbers too. At least the numbers are infinitely flexible binary though. And they can go up, down, sideways, strange, charm, sex-appeal and peppermint!
