This is kind of what I did. I was VP of Engineering etc. at different companies and wanted to go back to coding, see: https://blog.jgc.org/2012/02/programmer.html.

Of course, I then ended up being CTO again!

Cool, sounds like it worked out fine for you!

Wow, Madge! I once deployed Madge PCI Token ring NICs. Worked damn well.

I probably wrote code for those, although I actually started coding on the Madge token ring NICs during the ISA/EISA days.
