As you get promoted in the big companies you're expected to take more of a mentorship role, doing design reviews, leading teams, running and attending meetings, writing documents, working out conflicts between teams, designing features, designing architecture, triaging bugs, reviewing code, etc., etc. The more you rank up the less actual coding you're expected to do. At my last job, after getting promoted to senior engineer I was at times going for multiple month periods without writing any actual code. I'm not saying it's good or bad, I'm just saying there's a lot of senior software engineers that don't do much actual coding. The tool might have recorded me as doing nothing when I was all day working on non-coding stuff.
