Just watched Doctor Strange. If you lost your ability to code forever, what would you do with your life?
In Doctor Strange style, Say you driving your fancy car around a hill road to somewhere. You call the guy who is oncall and ask to walk you through the ticket backlog in the voice call as you continue to drive so you can pick the one that would contribute the most to your manager's efforts to promote you. You hear one you like and ask your teammate on the phone to send the error log. Even though you are driving, you take a peek at the error and BAM. Your get into an absolutely horrific accident throwing your car off the hill leaving you with destroyed hands an injured brain.
How would your life change if you suddenly lost your ability to code and reason about things the way it is needed for programming. Since the bar for the cognitive abilities needed to write code professionally is so low, I am guessing you would be impaired in other ways too cognitively. So take this into consideration. Unable to solve even an LC easy. And cant relearn either. Not enough brain working memory to system design either. So no senior engineer no-code, just-architect roles for you either.
Would you go to Kathmandu to learn inner peace from The Ancient One like Dr. Strange did to get a second chance at healing his hands to be a surgeon again?
