Being a developer is being part of the production chain. Even though you might have put much more effort in your education, you're nothing more than a replaceable worker in a factory. I personally prefer to be the owner of the factory, or at least one of his friends.
I've never met a developer over the age of 35, which was not in some sort of management position (or self employed).

WHEN YOU DON’T LISTEN TO THE PROGRAMMER...
Hi, my manager is leaving soon. I’ve only been here for short of 2 years and I’ve been promoted once already. It has come time to hire another dev. My director asked me to think about what I want for my career and how to hire the right person. I don’t want to become a manager if that means to stop coding and building stuff. Any advice or experiences you guys have had with this? I’m supposed to have a catchup with my director and he told me to think about it, but I only can think in terms of Problem-Solution. Not in abstract strategic career positioning or team management etc.
