> A lot of Seniors/Staff don't write "code". They're architecting/planning/guiding.

This is a problem.

You want your seniors/staff to have engineering experience, but at some level complaining that they don’t code any more is like complaining that the people who design bridges aren’t going out there and laying concrete foundations 400m deep into river beds any more.

no it'd be like saying people who design bridges don't need to know CAD

you're saying they can't pour footings for a data center -- not the same job at all

(or even can't set up a build system, which, god bless)
