Jesus this is my life :\

I used to write the best code :). Now it's meetings, checkin, answer questions, talk to QA and directors, maybe a PR if someone else didn't get it.

It sucks but I guess my job is to do all that dumb stuff so that my team can be 100% productive. They're awesome and don't deserve to have to go to meetings.

It seems to be working though, the team fucking cranks like never before. I do wish I could grab more than like one bug a week.

Yeah, the manager's job is to do 'nothing'. If there's nobody assigned to doing 'nothing', then it's the team that spends all their time doing 'nothing'.
What programming languages did you write? C? Assembly?
