I was promoted to Technical Architect 1 year ago. Since then, I have been working as TA but I spent time mostly in meeting and meeting and don't have to look at the code or configuration.

I am losing my hands-on skills and do not feel I am happy with this role. I would like to go back to a developer role.

Do you guys experience this? What do you guys recommend?

A lot of times, being a good architect is about being a good leader more than it is about being a good software builder.

I won't yuck your yum if you want to do senior consultant/dev work for the rest of your life, but if you want to advance to architect and beyond, you have to learn to trust your team with the details while you focus on the vision.

I think it really depends on the size of the project. If you're on a big project with 20+ developers, consultants, etc. then sure, you can't afford to be in the weeds. However, if it's a smaller project, TAs can be very hands on.
