Two important observations not found in the article:

1) Top-notch programming talent is often paid more than their manager.

2) "They nip at you from the top, and they nip at you from the bottom." Programmers have to deal with a manager. A manager has to deal with subordinates AND a manager.

I've known several friends that tried both and preferred programming.
