In my experience poorly as it starts to scale above 5-10 developers on a team. Good developers tend to be opinionated people and after a certain size you need someone to break ties and keep everyone pointed in a useful direction. I'm a team lead/Developer manager and somewhat new to the job and that's my role. Help the team get the info they need, make difficult decisions about the direction of the tech, and help solve the really hard issues that they are bumping their heads against. Mostly stay out of their way if things are going well but still keep track of everything that's going down.
