Rands: You are my hero. This is exactly what I needed today. I'm in the process of transitioning from being one of our most productive developers to being a lead. The amount of time I spend being busy has been killing me lately. Between code-reviews, writing specs, and keeping my fingers in all the pots so I can make decisions when I need to I no longer have time on the job to build. And I miss it something fierce.

I already make time to write every day, but making time to build is a great thing on top of that. Time to rearrange some stuff! Thank you!
