Ask HN: Want to program less and do more high level work

by shetillon 4/28/2023, 12:36 PMwith 0 comments

The more I work as a software engineer the less I like programming. Been doing it for 6+ years on Senior level and just hate having to deal with meaningless things all the time.

Be it boilerplate or spending a whole day on unit tests or doing something else fiddly or debugging issues. Just hate this type of meaningless low level work.

What are my options to do high level work that doesn't involve programming but is still in tech. I can be good at talking to people if I need to.

Been looking at Cloud Solutions Architect or PM/PO of some sort. Any suggestions?
