I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE IN BECOMING AN ENGINEERING MANAGER (REDDIT THREAD)

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This Redditor regrets becoming an Engineering Manager, finding the role soul-sucking, boring, and tedious. They miss the hands-on coding work they used to do and feel the management role is significantly different and more complex than being a lead. Commenters note that management is not a progression from engineering but rather a different job entirely.
