Add PR reviews, unscheduled support, an impossible number of meetings and I was ready to give up. I start my day at 8am and the only time I could do any real work was after 4pm. But then, I have family obligations in the evening. My solution? Hire senior engineers with lead dev experience. Convince management to pay them well. Then delegate. In a team of 10, I had two awesome senior dev of this caliber. When the company hired more devs, I told them it was time to restructure the team. You can't realistically have 1 on 1 with 20 people.
