Same here. First few years of being a SWE I had all the romantic notions of working late in some dimly lit office with a packed war room of developers, slamming Red Bulls at 3am while you're all trying to figure out some bizarre bug that keeps crashing your web app. I had a lot of those late night sessions and major releases that you go home at 6am and are expected to be back in the office by lunch.
Lately, its the same thing for me. Very little coding and actually building stuff. Its mentoring, meetings, fixing broken API endpoints or bug fixes that have lingered through multiple releases and keep getting shelved. I'm not sure if I've just lost my passion for coding, but it doesn't feel like I do much coding any more at all.
