I think as tech gets more diverse, the personality types will change. I was always the most social dev in the room until recently. Now there are all these bootcamp grads who chose to go into tech because it's a good career. Whereas back when I started you mostly went into it due to being a nerd who liked hacking around in your spare time.
I think offering career paths for devs interested in things like business and people is key to keeping them happy. I was miserable as dev work got less business-oriented. I felt too disconnected from what my work was doing. I went into "solutions engineering" (like sales engineering). But it wasn't easy because at the company I worked at, devs were devs and that was the only career path for coders.
25+ years as a Software Developer. I'm passionate about process improvement using technology. Let's all work smarter not harder and do more with less.
MY THOUGHTS ARE MY OWN
You actually made my point. I know a few people that went to school with me for CS and they are now on the business IT side of the house. There is nothing wrong with that. They realized that software development was not for them. The point I was trying to make is just let people who want to be developers be developers.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
