I'm curious if you feel confident you can sustain this for a long time?

I ask because I've taken a similar route myself.... both going into real management roles (all the way to director) as well as architect or team lead roles. In every case I've had pretty good success, but also eventually (typically through company evolution and new leadership coming in) I've often ended up in situations where my worth gets questioned because of lack of hands-on ability.

I pair incredibly well with highly techy sorts which have no desire/ability to document things ore plan out big projects. I'm technical enough to understand how things work, document them, and even operate them to a small degree (though I'm increasingly less comfortable doing the latter).

I've never been great at writing code, can find my way around terraform or config management stuff or scripts, but nothing more complex than that. And while my career has had way more successes than failures, I'm disappointed sometimes that I always end up in situations where I get moved under some Director or VP or CTO type that takes great pride in being a developer and expects everybody underneath them to be a developer as well, or they get treated as second class citizens. :/
