Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

I think it’s not so much about coding on a day to day basis, but rather understanding the basic principles of software engineering. And these are fundamentals cannot be acquired purely theoretically, require hands on experience.

Nevertheless, I understand that certain hierarchy levels require shift of focus from coding to other tasks such as leading people.

I would like to know if you still use your technical knowledge on a daily basis?
