are "engineering managers" also expected to code at your place? it must be the worst of both worlds

engineering managers are also expected to code, review other code, write endless docs about new "features", on top of managing autists

what you describe is a team lead or a senior software engineer position. engineering managers generally do not code. maybe at startups.

the impression i get is that the industry as a whole is moving toward managers writing code unless they’re senior enough

some places don't require it, but they end up doing those tasks anyway because most have an engineering background. if they don't, nobody on the team respects them.
