That's such an important conversation. I call it the middle-management crisis. This is more common than we imagine. I wrote my experience about it here: https://open.substack.com/pub/beyondthecodeofc/p/the-middle-manager-crisis?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=3lir2y

Now, something I really liked is how grounded in reality you tailored the old-fashioned talk: should tech leaders code or not? And it's all about context.

The context of your team, the product, and the company.

Not coding for the sake of coding.

Thanks for sharing.

Letting go of control isn’t a step back; it’s a power move. Real leadership is helping others shine, not proving you still can.

The more you let go, the more your team grows. And that’s the real win.
