Throwaway because market is too bad to say the truth.

Managers who code learn they are inviting political suicide.

1. Managers need to navigate office politics - a full time and full energy job.

2. Other teams will use lack of 8 hours of "coding output" as a weapon to prove that manager is not working.

Putting more political pressure on them and their team.
