The agency I work for is contracted by large corporation managing the team from the agency side. Their principal engineers spend more time in meetings and confluence than they do in an IDE. Is that a bad thing? On occasion when they end up too removed from the engineering process, but on the most part it’s helpful having someone do that work, planning, and being the voice for the team at a high level.
