  “Sometimes being a programmer isn’t about the code you write, it’s about knowing which libraries to use. It still takes skill.” I tell myself as I add my 20th nuget package instead of writing ten lines of code to reverse a string.

      You get to manage code? Once it’s shipped it’s gone. There’s no time for refactor and only tackle major bugs. That’s the corporate way

    I mean the reason python succeeded is because you don’t need to write more than one line to reverse a string (etc).
