Why management people thinks that a career path for any senior developer is to be a "leader" and be good in business side. Its like saying "hey you are a good programmer, let me take away that work you love to do and do stupid human resource management instead"

Sadly, that's how promotion works.

It's all about leadership, nobody cares about expertise.

@ddephor Far too often they don't even care about leadership expertise.

@gintko there are lot of things "to do" for us. Like follow the career path of Denis Ritchie or Linus Torvalds wherein they invent something new technology( eg bitcoin,linux etc ) get some PhD or be a bounty hunter. Yes being a CTO or CEO is one of the options but it is not the ONLY option

When you're really senior - you'll understand

@buonzz thanks dude... this is really an inspiration and I agree to it 😀
