I'm pretty sure one of the things that keeps me employed in software is that I'm good at non-software stuff. So much so that I focus quite a bit less on the software now, and a lot more on the things software does, why, and for whom. That stuff seems a lot more important in the scheme of things; especially when money isn't free and people need software to be truly useful and very immediately.
Maybe that's a typical progression in most software careers, but I wouldn't have believed I'd be here 10 years ago, or maybe even 5. I was always very technical (and I still love that side of things). Now I see the people side of things as far more important and interesting.
