Versatile software engineer with a background in .NET consulting and CMS development. Working on regaining my embedded development skills to get more involved with IoT opportunities.
This is something that honestly terrified me at one point. My last few jobs have involved a lot more governance and architecture responsibility, and way less coding than I desired.
I think that as you climb to the ranks of senior developer, it's only natural that you spend less time coding and are expected to put in more time with knowledge management, mentoring, and high-level decisions for the team. Doubly so if you are in a leadership position.
I review the documentation for the two languages I use the most: C# and TypeScript. Generics in TypeScript made me super happy. But it turns out that I didn't miss out on as much knowledge as I feared I had. Even if I have to Google things a little bit more, my problem skills are still there. I mentor developers through Underdog Devs in my spare time, and I feel like guiding others in their coding journey has kept my skills sharp.

Thanks for sharing. Becoming a mentor for developers sounds like a great way to keep active!
