I have zero inclination to be anything other than an individual contributor developer. I abhor meetings and don’t want to manage people. It actually took me a long time to convince the higher ups at my company that I have no interest in moving into management. I figure I have 15-20 years left in my career. If I can just keep learning new skills/technologies and getting better at what I do for the remainder of that time, I would be very happy.
