That's a pretty normal list of responsibilities for a technical lead in a startup of < 10 people.

Are you in a management role? You don't need to have excellent technical skills once you're a company leader. You just need to be able to:

- understand what needs to be done

- identify someone who is excellent at it (certainly better than you)

- provide the structure and resources that person needs to get the work done

If you're not in a management or leadership role, I hope you're well-compensated. Generalists are hard to find.

> But how does these skills fit into current job market?

Having 50-75% mastery of a wide range of skills is useful for a lot of startups. New products don't have to be super optimized or have perfect code. They just need to work well enough that the company can survive to hire someone to fix them.

There will always be jobs for you. Don't overthink it. The question is: are you happy or are you burning out?
