Yep, in my new contract assignment am surrounded by code monkeys, scientific Phd world known scientists / code monkeys (very senior grades employees).... my contract said I am doing systems/technical analysis and design, but after arriving here was told I would be expected to do some coding eventually... lets hope this eventually does not arrive too soon

Or has Bob Shawadiwadi and his ilk taken all these jobs?

I still do "some" coding in my job but it is now mostly systems design and analysis. I would say that the ratio is 90% analysis/design and 10% coding.

I mean, I do sql and unix scripts, but these are just tools, not the job; just as, I do arithmetic and I read and write, but those are skills, not my job. At one time, coding was what I did. It is probably what I have been most proud of at work, and the mental discipline that comes from coding well is a benefit. But I don't see ever doing it for a living again.
