srana, we never said that you need to stop learn coding. Yes you definitely need to keep on learning. You are saying you have been working as .NET developer for 2 years. Yes 2 years is fair amount of time exploring the technology but you will soon hit the ceiling for sure. I used to be like you, a pure coding junkie, back in the days. Always in front of computer and never went to lunch/dinner with colleagues. But that hurt me a lot in long run. If you know people personally then it will be easier for you to switch between companies with higher pay otherwise you will be always treated like "Just another Company co-worker"
