I might be the outlier but the hardest part for me is the lack of contact with people. I like solving a tough problem or the challenge of grokking a new library/skill but then doing it over and over and over... not so much. Sometimes I wonder if I'm good enough at the technical side (I have never outright failed at it) that I was never pushed/suggested to look at roles that are more human-facing. I have done -- and greatly enjoy! -- public speaking at user groups and even conferences on technical topics and the number one comment I have gotten both from programmers and non-technical people is how I can communicate concepts that were previously opaque in an easy to approach and understand manner. I definitely like people more than machines, even though I know the machine side well enough to hold my own with the most advanced architects and lead devs. What would be the ideal role for someone like me? I don't think "software developer" is it.
