Nope, those people are not competition lol. I get that you want that to be true for some reason, but it's not.

I do not get paid to write code. No software engineer does. The more senior the engineer, the less code they write.

I don't even really talk to the business folks, that's what a PM is for.

I already told you what I actually do, you're free to read it and learn. Or not, I ain't the boss of you
