That’s more like it. Also, the more senior I became the more my LoC “productivity” became negative. Now, I get pleasure from deleting obsolete shit or replacing error prone spaghetti with a simple API call the author did not know about (more often than I like to admit that author is myself).
The worst part of being a senior dev is doing all the responsibilities as a team lead but not having the resources in place to not be required to be an individual contributor. I can’t imagine many people wake up each morning excited to be wearing both hats and doing a poor job at each.

All a part of the process of becoming senior, no?
You make all of the mistakes, learn from them, and then try to prevent them in the rest of the code base.
