I would like to leave because the stress of keeping up to date with frameworks and the competition is just brutal. Everything is just so complex to implement these days.

I still love troubleshooting systems and doing hands on work that doesn’t involve writing code with other SWEs, so I’m considering what options I have.

I basically don’t want to be part of a code review or design discussion ever again.

Or ProServ - it's a lot of debugging/diagnostics work. There's a whole wide world of need for good diagnosticians who are thin on the ground, my friend.

You are mostly looking into sys admin or cloude guru role.
