First off, you're not alone - https://charity.wtf/2017/05/11/the-engineer-manager-pendulum.

I haven't made quite the same transition, but I did start coding again last year after 10 years in non-coding leadership roles. Assuming you had decent technical chops in the first place (probably the case given your current role), I would not worry at all about getting back into it. I have a similar .NET background, and I was able to build a product from scratch that did pretty well on Show HN a couple of days back. Used .NET 6 (nice to come back to), React with Tailwind (no prior experience), AWS infra (no prior hands-on experience), etc. Not a big deal, and SUPER enjoyable to be coding again!

Good luck! This decision is not irreversible by any means.
