While I agree with this, I think these are two different stances: the one you mention is a natural progression of moving, the way you put it, from programmer to founder. It’s something you want to do. An intentional move. While my stance is more similar to saying: “I want to be a programmer but I am forced to be a PM”. I’m forced by corporate culture (so to speak) to coordinate AI agents.

I don’t mind adapting. And you are right. I just loved writing code too.
