Happy to help, thanks for the feedback!

I think you’re taking a great approach.

I’m learning to take a step back to figure out how much of my time the business is going to need, and dialing back the amount of coding I personally do appropriately.

I used to expect the business to give me enough time - now I try to take more responsibility to set expectations with everyone for how much I can do myself.

It takes courage, but when done right it lets me work at a sustainable pace where I let people down less by helping the team keep ideas flowing.

YMMV
