When did you stop writing code?

I’ve been making the transition to management for the past year. I’ve been writing code professionally for 6.5 years. I really enjoy coding but I love helping others grow even more. I feel competent enough technically across the stack to be able to lead a team and also recognize when I’m not the smartest and to empower others to lead. I think that’s the bare minimum to become an engineering manager. I intend to get management positions that involve 20-40% coding time though so I can keep from getting rusty

You don't have to stop something to start something else.It is possible to do several things simultaneously.

Some things I've mingled over the years: Being a pilot, being a pharmacist, programming warehouse software, looking after a property-rental business.

Currently: doing the property-rental thing, writing software to aid in doing that, programming for pleasure.
