FWIW, I feel you are doing it right. I've been on both sides of this and can confirm:

  • I was much more effective when developers learned I could keep up with them. I (personally) distrusted anyone who wasn't current on our current technology stack and understood both the opportunities and implementation risks in the same.

  • I often had my developers be the primary reviewers on my designs. (E.g. invert the ivory tower. You serve them, not the other way around)
