I'm a relatively experienced/accomplished software developer with a breadth of experience, currently living in the Bay Area who has developed chronic pain from typing all day. I love technology and coding, and I still code several hours a week, but it seems like I simply can't compete with other devs productivity wise who are able to type all day, every day. This in turn has taken it's toll on my confidence while job hunting.

I have tried sales engineering, but it turns out I dislike sales for a number of reasons. I've done support over the phone as well, but I have no desire to do that full time. I have no management experience, which makes getting a management job unlikely unless it was somehow from internal promotion.

As someone who is looking for a job at the moment, what opportunities are out there where I can leverage my dev experience, but wouldn't have to type all day?
