Depends on the company but here's what I have been through: * Good dev team doesn't need "managing" but instead you become some kind of BS umbrella to protect them from arbitrary disruptions. * Don't expect every developer to be as communicative as you expect. They may be unhappy but may not let you know directly. 1 on 1s are really important. * Much less coding. Less than I am comfortable with.
