I started writing software in 1984. Over the years I worked with many languages, technologies, and tools. I have been in leadership positions since the early 2000s, and in executive roles since 2014.
I switched to management because I wanted to grow my area of influence. I loved writing code, but there is only so much code I can write with my own hands. As a leader of engineers, I can now scale my efforts. I also switched because I wanted to learn more about people.
No, never got tired of it.
I am satisfied with the switch, and it was the right time for me. I had to be 100% sure that I wanted it, and it took me this long to get to that point. It is different for everyone, so you kind of know when you are there. If you are not sure, it is probably too early.
Definitely this. I'm currently making the switch to management and this is one of the primary factors that drove my decision. I feel like I have a lot to offer at the team level (I'm currently a technical lead) but that I'll be able to help even more people in a full-time management role.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I'm trying to make it brief, forgive the rudeness :)
You are not being rude at all.
