If you have not seen the back story on the question of the week, the quick version is that weekly I provide a framing question for my coaching sessions with my direct reports.

This week’s question is:

Where are we talking where we should be coding?

There is some back story on this one which I will share.

A few weeks back while browsing in a book store at an art museum, I stumbled across a book called The Architect Says (affiliate link). The copy on display had a book jacket that struck me. The book jacket was a quote from Le Corbusier which said:

I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and leaves less room for lies.

This made me smile and do the mental s/drawing/coding/g giving me:

I prefer coding to talking. Coding is faster, and leaves less room for lies.
