Am I just dead weight?

[damasterjo]

You know I feel bad...

I used to contribute so much here, at least I did alittle to the games and graphics sections, now when I get a PM about one of my own tutorials someone is having a problem with I just basically ignore it. I don't code anymore and although its fun, right now since I make no money and don't plan on doing it in the future I see it as a waste of time.

Hope you guys don't mind I flood the database with useless info now...

Don't feel bad, we have many adventures together

[damasterjo]

I feel so loved!

[moeur]

I used to contribute a lot more to these forums. Then I got a job.

Now I also ignore PMs and don't answer too many questions.

I have to code a lot in my job so don't feel like it after I get home.

I think I'll go watch some TV now.

I used to contribute a lot (gibberish), but then i was not being paid more.

and still does not get paid more.

and yet do not get paid more...

get what i mean? if not, then i am not paying you and i am not paying more either!

[BodwadUK]

i used to help out alot and then I got bored of answering the same questions and coding in general

[Valleysboy1978]

I've tried to help a lot but coding has never really been my thing, just sort of fell into the industry. Can't wait to get into management so as to get away from coding and start pushing other people around for a change

I did not sign up myself for that, and look where it got me... I feel so incompetent, because one of these days i might forget coding altogether.

I used to contribute a lot, but then JupiterMedia failed to renew my contract, so now I only post chit chat.

I feel exactly the same. Most of the programmers in the company go home and code in their spare time (FREAKS!). I however prefer to chill out which makes me wonder if I'm cut out for this coding thing.

Besides, management is where the money is

[wossname]

I never write code in my spare time Unless you count the C, C#, ASM, makefiles and bash scripts.

If you don't code in your own time then you probably aren't interested in programming. This is the beginning of the end and you should stop before you become crap at it.

I try to be a contributing member to the forums, but, unfortunately, VBF traded me for a 6th round draft pick and a player to be named later.

Bit too late for that as I'm already crap at programming....was never really that good at it in the first place

Hence why I want to get out of development

[wossname]

You should become Management, they are always an obstacle to development.

but i like programming, for work.

the good thing about management though is that, if there are some problems technically you don't need to do the thinking LOlz.

but it definitely needs a little getting used to. I'm no pro, but i am good at what I do. :S
