Think you were hired for your coding skills? Think again. In this eye-opening episode, we explore the uncomfortable truth about what tech companies actually value—and it's probably not what you think.Starting with the story of an "irreplaceable" .NET developer who quit in anger, only to be seamlessly replaced by a QA guy who'd never touched Windows servers before, we dive into the harsh realities of the tech industry. From custom JavaScript frameworks getting tossed aside for jQuery to years of A/B testing work replaced by a third-party tool overnight, this episode challenges everything you think you know about job security in tech.Drawing from personal experiences as both an employee and consultant, we examine why PowerPoint presentations often get more praise than working code, why technical expertise alone isn't enough, and what skills actually matter for long-term career success. This isn't about becoming a worse developer—it's about understanding what being a professional developer really means.Essential listening for anyone who's ever wondered why their beautiful, elegant code got scrapped for something "good enough," or why that developer who barely knows the codebase somehow seems more valuable than the technical expert.Key Quotes"We're not hired to write code. We're hired to build products, solve problems, and deliver value. The code is just how we do it.""The developers who thrive in this industry aren't necessarily the ones who write the most beautiful code. They're the ones who understand the business context, who can communicate with non-technical stakeholders, who can adapt to new technologies and changing requirements.""Products and features have to come from somewhere. They don't just materialize out of thin air. Someone has to build them, maintain them, iterate on them. That's where we come in."
