Every place i've seen where management fully usurped hiring had teams rapidly stacked with extremely poor performers. Not surprisingly so.
Moreover, the days when you as an IC can sit quietly in a corner and churn out code from coffee and jira tickets are rapidly coming to an end. I would highly recommend focusing on those other parts of the job if you're not planning to retire soon, and hiring is part of your job as an SME, misplaced humility notwithstanding.

It was never really like that for me in my domain. But yes, that ended almost 3 years ago for me. I don't think hiring is on my horizon, but I'm looking at long term means to be my own boss.
Just need a few more years first to prepare the jump and pay off debts.
