This is an unfortunate attitude. The current state of things in our industry is a reflection of this “not my job” way of doing things.

We can call it job specialisation. I don't do project managing, I do coding. Not my business to coordinate everyone, my job is to write code.
My job is typically to deliver features that make the company money. The writing of code is just a part of that.

In my experience the people who solely focus on the code end up being significantly less effective.

> to deliver features

ah, see, so your job description includes, besides being a dev, also being a project manager. that's fine, there's nothing bad about it, it's just that your job requires a bit more from you than other places.
