Awesome article, Vaibhav!
It makes us see that there's much more than meets the eye... Sometimes people just look at one side of the story (as we ourselves did many times), but when we face the challenge of wearing multiple hats at once it becomes clear that there's much more stuff involved.

And there's also that thing you mentioned in the comment below... You kind of lose a it of identity when you start doing other areas' related stuff (as HR, finance, project management, etc.) and don't code day in and day out... I think that this is one of the most difficult things to tackle, but I'm sure this leads to one inevitable thing: maturity.

It's not that programmers are immature, actually nowhere near this... :P
But it's just that this transition forces us to let some things go in order to keep the wheel spinning. And that's where the maturity comes in :)

Thanks so much Rafael!

Yeah its always a multi-dimensional approach with business isn't it, i still struggle with not coding on a day to day, almost FOMO of what i'm missing out - but i guess thats the natural progress of things if you want to take it that way

Exactly!!
