44 here. I have actively started avoiding architect/product owner roles . Instead I'm consentrated on knowing the product (how it's used by the customers and admins), the tech stack, the code base and the devops pipeline as good as I can by doing a whole lot of feature building and bugfixing. Result is that the work is more rewarding than ever. Architect and PO come to me to discuss features. Admins come to me with weird bugs. I get to code a lot and think a lot. I hope I get to do this til I retire.
