Anybody else sometimes do not like being a team lead?

I am the senior most person in my team (in fact took interviews of the rest of them). While I love the work and the team, I sometimes feel that I do not get to code that much. I am mostly assigning work, or helping others. Even if I get in the zone, there is always someone who needs some assistance or some meeting, which breaks the flow. Also the tension about non technical stuff like salary increments, giving feedback and assigning backups. I do love it mostly, but my ass is nearly always on fire. The team loves me though. I am still young, took this responsibility because the owner trusted me with this (he has no complaints). Thoughts ?

Thoughts about using React Native with Expo for apps? Recently started working on a dashboard app, have made few screens already, looking for some pointers.

"If we make the changes ourselves, we won't have to pay for the changes!"
"But what if something gets messed up?"
"Then they'll fix it for free! Either way, we don't have to pay anything! I'm friggin' brilliant!"
"Why would they fix it for free?"
"Can't hear you over the bonus I'm giving myself for my brilliant idea."

Found this while browsing comments on Clients From Hell.

Client insisting on Vanilla JS instead of using a existing framework to design a reporting dashboard, because "first I want to build one dashboard page and see how people react to It and what all changes they want. Once we have complete picture in mind we will go for a framework". Sure, let's do the entire work twice for peanuts.

Working on an intense feature with a deadline, totally in the zone. Now being asked to have the borders fixed on a div as they are not the "right" shade. Took them one year to notice that. And no, I am not doing it now.

"Doing this all day leaves you in a state of mild aphasia as you look at people's faces while they're speaking and you don't know they've finished because there's no semicolon."
So funny and true at the same time. A must read for all fellow developers out there. https://gizmodo.com/programming-suc...
