Correct. Not trying to toot my own horn, but after 10 years of getting better each year, I am solid programmer. I literally just finished working on SoundTracking.
However, I have focused solely on programming the last 10 years, and I believe my focus depleted from other skills that are highly necessary to balance someone out: product development, winning friends and influencing people, sales, marketing, physical builds, the arts and humanities, entrepreneurship and finally understanding and gettings your hands deep and dirty into real business experience:construction, food and restaurants, medecine, education, finance, fashion, etc, etc.
My intention is to help others not go down such a narrow path as I have.
Reading the Steve Jobs biography really lit a fire under me.
