Your job isn't to code anymore homie.
It all becomes a bunch of soft targets as a manager and that's really hard.
The one big success I had when I was a manager was getting our client teams to unify on the bugs they were having and to be much more cohesive. When I first got there the android and ios and web people never talked and refused to believe they had the same types of issues/bugs. LOL.
I ultimately hated it because really... I don't want to yell at people for being late to standup, so went back to engineering.
