OK, that's helpful. Maybe not lowered to ZERO though?



Didn't mean to suggest that it should be zero— only that new leads feel like they are falling behind when they're actually doing normal leadership tasks, because it's not coding, and coding is what feels like work to them; or that their instinct for dealing with increased workload is to code more (instead of organizing more). Those are bad instincts, hence they need to readjust their definition of "what feels like work".


In my experience, yes, but it depends on the company. Most tech leads I've interacted with (including myself) write some code from time to time.
