Not sure my favourite manager _was_ great. But at one startup our CTO was so completely devoted to agile and TDD that he somehow completely protected us from deadline pressures and technical debt. It was the least stress I've ever experienced in my career, and the best code I have ever written. That said, I don't really think the business case or costs on the project ended up making a lot of sense and the product never launched (the problem it mitigated against was actually solved by EU litigation in the end).
