Is that even possible? I'm currently the lowest of the low code monkey with no extra responsibilities but I code for maybe 10% of my time if that. Mostly I coordinate with other people to get info about what's broken this week and when it will be fixed and how soon we can deploy the code that I wrote in 5 minutes last week and who I need to get on board for it. I kind of get it to some extent, code is a liability that's expensive to maintain, but my god it's mind numbing some days. The idea of spending 80% of my time coding is absurd. I'd settle for 25%.

I do think I'm as good as someone could reasonably be at getting the actual devs the info they need and then getting the hell out of their way. I chalk it up to the study and note taking habits I myself have, since I often leave my side projects lying around for months at a time between donors.

Maybe that's why I ended up here. Maybe getting 5 folks like you from 10% to 12% coding time makes a bigger difference than adding my own 10% to the pile :(
