If you (still) work at Twitter and you can code, head to the HQ now

That's not "doing nothing" it's "doing bureaucracy" and IMHO it's a lot more mentally exhausting than coding.

Imagine if every hour of every work day in your calendar is full of various forms of "planning" meetings. How are you supposed to write code and attend all this nonsense at the same time? You can't.

To be fair it sure feels like doing nothing but employers consider it necessary and a job that only senior people can handle.

I've been in one of these jobs before, and it's certainly exhausting. I'm not necessarily convinced it's useful though. It always seemed like a lot of planning and replanning of work that prevented anything from actually getting done.
