Samesies.

I used to be a programming monkey. It was absolutely fine, I enjoyed it and other people got the flak if things weren't done on time or there were other problems. My code was never the problem - each day, I spent at least four hours working for the company and up to four hours on my own projects, on the company dime.

Seems like I got too.. confident in meetings. Made suggestions. People took too much notice.

Now I'm some kind of lead architect which pays really well, but there's no more time for myself, there's much more pressure, I can't code nearly as much as I want to and the fun is gone.

Confidence in meetings and paying attention is like a death punch to the face made of money. It happened to me too.
