I've been a manager for a while and at best I get 20% time to code. With 8+ reports the weeks tends to break down into:
* 20% for 1-on-1s and dealing with management level issues people bring up.
* 20% spent on hiring
* 20% on various status meetings (team, cross-team, with my boss, etc.)
* 20% spent on pro-actively finding or solving issues before the explode. This includes networking with my counterparts in the rest of the org so I get information and build political capital.
