As a relatively recent manager (former dev), I’ve embraced the idea that it’s my job to be interrupted. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. It signals that the interrupter’s time is more important than mine, which is what I want for people on my team.

Any new manager should embrace this, and moreso, develop the skill to be interrupted gracefully.

I think that is certainly the way, any manager or lead developer should always open to interruption, that way we can manage our team.

Being a lead dev or manager, i think we should always expect less coding.

this is fine until you're expected to do both types of roles simultaneously.
