That means I have about another 5.5 years to get myself in a management position, where I never have to type a single line of code again.

You can't be serious. I lose more money with young developers trying to sell me on the latest and greatest rather than giving me what I need. There is something called "cost effective" and that seems to go over the head of young developers. When you hit 35+ you will probably be a much better developer. Hang in there, it will only get better for you.
