> I'm not a code factory who occasionally talks to the suits. That isn't the job lol

The problem you are facing is that "person who talks to business" is a huge pool of talent, and now you have to compete with them. Previously your only competition was "person who talks to business and can code".

Nope, those people are not competition lol. I get that you want that to be true for some reason, but it's not.

I do not get paid to write code. No software engineer does. The more senior the engineer, the less code they write.

I don't even really talk to the business folks, that's what a PM is for.

I already told you what I actually do, you're free to read it and learn. Or not, I ain't the boss of you

Nobody listens to someone who talks like this. Nobody learns from someone who talks like this. You're not a leader and you're not a very good software engineer and likely if you boss anyone around, they think you're a clown.
