Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

While staying "hands-on" with coding decreases as you climb the leadership ladder, maintaining technical knowledge ("staying technical") is still important. It allows you to understand your team's challenges, make informed decisions, and communicate effectively. Aim to dedicate 20% of your time to technical activities like attending meetings, contributing to documentation, working on small internal tools, and participating in ongoing learning.
