The first part of this reading started out by saying you should be in the field that you enjoy. Just because you make more money doesn’t mean it’s meant for you. Another point was made that just because you’ve been coding for a long time does not make you a senior coder. It all depends on what you’ve been working on and the diversity of your skills that makes a senior coder.

The next part of the reading focuses on companies being agile. It takes about how being competitive means delivering software faster and with better quality. Most companies end up making this all about their process and tools. Just because a company practices agile ways does not mean they will improve. The most important part is hiring developers that can handle this and can make it happen, without these developers that have mastered these process and tools, then it will not improve the product or speed.
