I am a technologist and business person. It doesn't mean I'm a great coder. I *can* code if needed, although it's not the best use of my time. At some point, I'm going to shout at someone who doesn't understand this.
*** My value is not found in my ability to produce code ***
*** My value is not found in my ability to produce code ***
This should be true of *** all *** people in tech.
Because production of code should never be the measure by which a person's value is measured.

Serverless: a person can produce something that takes 50-100 lines of code, and a bit of infra as code and it works.
Non-serverless: Maybe 5-10,000 lines of code + open source code and running on a PaaS (or similar) and it works.
If they do the same thing, which is better?

I'm sick and tired of LOC as a metric.
I'm far more interested in business value as a metric
I'm far more interested in hiring "technologists" and "business people who understand technology"
I'm far less interested in "coders"
Still, learn to code, but recognise it's place
