The Philip Su example is great, but being an early employee and a manager has basically has insurance against getting fired and he can do what he pleases. That IMHO does not reflect the life of an average facebook employee.

Philip is not unique, FB engineering managers of all levels and tenure move into development roles. It's a relatively common occurrence; I'd guess around 5% of managers switch back to coding each year.
