Here is a link to an article I just wrote for Red Gate.  It is an opinion piece about my reaction to a recent article that suggests that you cannot make a career out of coding.  As I mention in the article, I had already been told I was "too old to code."  What do you think?  Is there a link between the sad state of software reliability (overall) and the fact that experienced coders are encouraged, because of a lack of a developer's career path, to go into sales or management in order to continue to progress in their career.

What do you think?
