While crude, I believe he is right.

I have seen it too many times with project managers and now my CTO. Trying to still code and fix that terrible bug with already too little time. Ends up slowing down everyone because he never can get anything finished, or breaking things on a Thursday at 6:49pm because of the half baked solution he thought was good enough, but exploded in production, which he then has to spend 1 more hour fixing and 6 more hours cleaning up the aftermath. Spend your time reviewing and mentoring and try replacing yourself with someone who has time.

You now have important shit to do.

I have determined that I can still code sometimes and not ruin engineering. Nothing is black and white
That is good. You know your situation best
