Yeah same here. I feel like I’ve been promoted and not get to manage my own very efficient team that needs a lot of micromanaging. I’ve seen what other people have made without any experience, but I personally feel like I can get my vision done much, much faster, and like I’m not so encumbered by how long it might take to implement some small feature.

In fairness though I never really enjoyed programming for the sake of it, I was always about what you’re getting at the end.

> I feel like I’ve been promoted

The correct response to "I feel I have been promoted (without a corresponding title or pay change)" is to be pissed off, not excited
