> never do anything as satisfying as coding

What a narrow world view.

There are “schmoozers” who are completely satisfied and coders who dread their work lives...

There are also schmoozers who create value beyond anything many single coders could ever dream of: by raising capital, creating multimillion sales, persuading and inspiring others, etc.

And I say this as someone who switched from a management job to designing and coding because I personally find it much more fulfilling.
