I've said no several times when asked if I'd be interested in management - I like writing code and solving problems, management is only vaguely necessary in some bureaucratic unfortunate way. I would say that that approach to writing software defined my 20s. But in the past few years I've become fascinated by the problem of organization and it's made me appreciate good management so much more - getting more than two people to act in concert is _hard_. Getting 10 or 30 or 1000 of them is so much harder. If I think about it too much I start wondering how anything ever gets done at all, anywhere

This is part of why I want to move towards management. I'm not an incredibly gifted developer, I don't live and breathe code, but I do understand the process and the challenges that get tossed at devs, and would love to make their lives easier.
