CORRECTION: I code, but never in a professional context. I’ve made a few games, mostly just stuff to amuse me.

The reason I don’t code though is because there’s already a lot of coders out there, and I add nothing by contributing my own code beyond a fix here or there.

And also, coding demands you sit there and really focus on solving a problem, and then trying to figure out what went wrong after you thought you solved the problem.

Coders get deep in the weeds. So deep in the weeds it’s hard for them to get a bird’s eye view of their own work. You think you made something common sense, only to discover it’s not.

That’s why coders need people who are not in the weeds to help them out.

I’ve been involved in software development for awhile but I don’t code. So how am I involved in development? My skillsets:
  • QA
  • Documentation
  • Project management
  • UI/UX testing
  • Product iteration
But I think my superpower is getting people to give a damn about what coders make. And like it or not, that’s what coders need.
