As a senior engineer pushing staff, my job is partly to code and also partly to mind the architecture, practices, and quality of the several teams I have a hand in. To be a resource for problem solving, voice of reason in org level design and postmortem reviews, represent the org’s needs in company-wide projects, etc. My job’s not all about that, but it takes up a lot more of my time with the demise of the hallway conversation and the fog of Zoom making meetings a lot less information-dense.
