For SDEs do you feel like coding ability/tech skills should outweigh everything else when being considered for a role or promo?

No. A great engineer isn’t great if they can’t communicate properly. I’ve worked with engineers that were so technically knowledgeable but couldn’t communicate basic requirements and working with them was a nightmare. It slows down the people they’re “leading”.

Real shot in the dark here, sounds like you have amazing coding skills but potentially are being hindered by lack of soft skills for a new role/promotion. How close am I?

Mental gymnastics. But also who would bring up this point if it didn’t impact them?

Absolutely not. Technical skills get you into the door as a junior developer. You might be able to get to a first promotion based on purely technical merits. Any senior role will require significant leadership, mentoring and communication skills. You simply cannot be effective without them.
