I've noticed that, wherever I am, people tend to come to me for help and guidance. It happened at my previous job and is now happening at my current job too.

These past few months I've spent most of my day helping my coworkers instead of actually writing code. I'm not complaining, I like helping, but I feel like I'm not being productive.

Is there a name for this role? Should I embrace it?

    In my opinion that's called seniority combined with nice character.
    If you like yourself in that position, then embrace it.

    @SheShell oh, I ask them for plenty of help too, with things like CSS.

    I also know to prioritize, so if what I'm doing is more important I tell them to wait.

    It's just that lately it's been more of me helping than writing code and it got me thinking about my role here.
