I've heard a lot of engineers complain about engineering managers over the years. I've also heard great managers self-deprecatingly say they "don't do any work". I've seen managers feeling bad they weren't productive so they resorted to writing code to feel that they were having impact. This post is an example of the incredible impact an engineering manager can have without writing a line of code.
