Programmers are code writers who have the ability to convert mathematical logic in a language that PC understands. They are the people who make machines work automatically by teaching them the steps they must take to operate themselves on their own(of course a user is required for inputting data). They are people with the ability to manage machines. In other words, they are machine managers-in contrast to “man managers”, who occupy positions of “business managers” in today’s corporate world.

Tim Bryce is a big joke.

Mr Bryce is a painter that doesnt know how
To hold a paint brush.

Im a programmer an analyst a consultant

And i want to fuck your theory about programmers

I think Mr Bryce is a sorry dumb ass bitch
Frustrated programmer that cannot interpret
A single intructions. Rather than fancy ideas
And let programmer make it happen for Mr Bryce
Stupid portfolio.

I am agree with Andriy Solovey 50% and not agree with Andriy Solovey 50%.
It is right that some programmers are house painters.
but 50% programmers user their own mind to implement the software and run it successfully.they gives suggestion to customer and even Analyst to improve software quality. As a web developer i can say that programmers can be a good analyst.

I do agree to the fact that many programmers are house painters. But there are still people(progarammers) who can think out of the box and implement anything under the sun.

But I cannot agree to Tim Bryce’s statement that “IQ is less for a programmer.
I would rather say that a Programmers IQ is rather higher in terms of technology.

As as Senior Programmer i would demand absolute freedom from unethical management morons, who wants a database to be implemented in ten days using the latest language!!!!!.

Programeers are the only people who use the most unfriendly OS on earth for accomplishing their tasks.

“I don’t agree. Communicating with customers is a time consuming and inefficient process, simply because most customers don’t have a clue what they want, or want something completely ridiculous. If you have a skilled programmer, it is a waste of their time to work with the customer.”

I don’t need to actually talk to the customer. I can discern their requirements from my little cubicle, from whence I dispense my wisdom using quotes from Firefly and The Simpsons.

Given the huge number of programmers that have successfully started their own business the past few decades, I would think this “programmers need to understand business” should be over by now.

In every team I worked with the past ten years, the problem was entirely the other way around: programmers understood the business requirements perfectly well, management however was unable to relate business requirements to proposed technological solutions and required IT-resources. In the information-age, it’s now up to the management to start crossing that bridge. The programmers are already well past half way.
