if you finish the work quicker than everyone else, it could be a sign that you're a rock star ten times ninja emoji developer. Except you're not, you just missed something out.

Love that sentence... there is soooo much truth in it!

I don't see most things as a progression from development

I am 41 and I love what I am doing! I cannot imagine myself, sitting there as a Team Director or such and not code anymore. Some go into "Architecture" and think about concepts, writing Word-Documents or PowerPoint-Presentations ... but when I think of an architecture and the (software-) design to it, my fingers itch and I want to make it happen.

Companies that "promote" developers to management positions as a reward for being good developers are dumb, and deserve to fail.

Yes, yes and YES!
