This is almost exactly the same for me. Except I was 28 when I became a "Development Manager". It quickly became clear that I felt I wasn't accomplishing anything, and the times when I was able to actually code felt completely liberating. Some people enjoy managing, unfortunately I just couldn't get into it.
