I get that's part of being a more senior engineer, but it makes me feel far less effective and skilled when all I do is communicate requirements, balance client needs

Yeah. I'm 100% not a people person. I focus on one person - my client - and pretend they are a good friend with a great idea of a product regardless of how good it really is.

Everyone else I have to report to can just suck it. As long as the client is paying and happy and the devs are working and I understand the code & docs, then that's good enough for me.

If it prevents me from further promotions even better. If I get any further away from code I would cry.

Office Space was amazing watching once I'd been a developer for a while. I had so much sympathy for that dude, because it's definitely a real job and having someone bad at it definitely makes my job harder, but it definitely feels like a "do nothing" job.
