Where do you work? Sign me up! I have hardly any time to code after weekly sprint-related ceremonies, 1:1's, cycle planning, and architecture and code reviews.
The job of management, like the job of any developer, varies from company to company, and situation to situation. Thankfully, the people side of my job as a manager is easy right now, but only because the people I manage are reasonable people to work with, and well receptive to feedback. It was very difficult last year when I had to work through more delicate relationships between the employee and employer. As always, it comes down to people.
It also sounds like the place you may be managing at may not be challenging enough for you. Perhaps it's time to make a change?
- virtue3 6y agoYour job isn't to code anymore homie. It all becomes a bunch of soft targets as a manager and that's really hard. The one big success I had when I was a manager was getting our client teams to unify on the bugs they were having and to be much more cohesive. When I first got there the android and ios and web people never talked and refused to believe they had the same types of issues/bugs. LOL. I ultimately hated it because really... I don't want to yell at people for being late to standup, so went back to engineering.
