D'flecting d'fensive ends and d'bilitating injuries
Have you considered something developer adjacent like Technical Program Manager? The ability to learn, deal with ambiguity, explain things clearly so that teams can align around them, etc are key skills for the role.

I was a developer for 10 years, and while I didn't hate coding it was never a pleasure or passion for me like it is for many others. Which meant that I naturally took on a lot of responsibilities for organizing the team, etc. A couple of years ago I switched to a TPM role which I'm much better at than I ever was as a developer because it lets me leverage the other skills I acquired without coding being the main focus of the job.
