After I learnt basic PHP (I coded for a living for a while), I became an information architect, and never really had to code again. All my little projects didn't need more than my basic PHP.
Since I'm working on Mefeedia.com though, I finally feel I'm becoming a better coder again. In the sense that I'm learning to really set up an object model, a db model and a set of actions on those, and keep that pretty separate from the service or website itself. I might play with Rails a bit in the future. If there is time for playing.
