I think you’re learning that there is more to this career than just slinging commits. I can relate to the experience you are having.

At a certain point, the code just wasn’t enough for me. I still love code and systems, but it isn’t the only way I make impact anymore.

When I reached the point that I wanted something more rewarding, I started learning other skills. I have found business, sales engineering, delivery enablement, product development, and people management are really interesting.

I echo others who say to switch jobs. You’ve got to find a role that will let you branch out.

I’ve got a lot of those opportunities at a small tech company if anyone wants to chat btw…
