Ask HN: I don't want to code anymore. What else can I do?

I've been a coder for the past 15 years. I was living and believing that software engineering is a means to an end, and refused to move away from hands on positions. I gaslighted myself into believing that I enjoy coding. However, looking at it now, it seems like I was wrong. While I do like writing code, I've been doing it both at job and after work for my side projects, and I think I no longer can handle it. I want to keep doing side projects, but for my job, I think I want to get away from writing code, or at least minimize it drastically. I'm considering leadership positions now, but I'm not entirely sure what's there for me. Would appreciate some people to share their experience, how they moved away from writing code to leadership/management positions, and how I can pull it off while having minimal leadership experience.
