There is this new role called TLM that combines being a manager and a tech lead. Not sure how that is supposed to work at all.

What I saw is that role isn't working either way. TLM don't have manager's power (can't reward and cannot punish) and at the same time expected to churn out production code, carving continuous focus hours out of manager's schedule.
