&gt;Expect to do less actual programming<p>Even if you don&#x27;t do much actual programming you need to be the one that monitors and accepts all pull requests.<p>That also means taking responsibility for any of the subsequent angry users because you merged that code and you could have stopped it.<p>Keeping an eye on pull requests also means gently guiding the junior devs to amend their code when they head down the wrong path (e.g. by pairing with them) rather than just rejecting it outright or (worse), writing a snarky comment.
