6-8 sounds like too many. Anyways, in addition to probably being unfit for people management, it sounds like it would take away all my coding time.

The latter statement proves the former. A good manager prioritizes management over work that an individual contributor might do. If that doesn't suit a person, they're likely not fit for management.

I've seen many managers fail for this reason.

Personally, I think that mixing management with programming leads to bad results.

A manager doesn't code.
