You're talking as if Devs are brainless outside of programming, let's babysit them.

The best development managers/directors I've worked with were hands on, and they knew significantly more than me, they knew their stuff really well.

It has absolutely nothing to do with capability of one person vs the other, it is about what is part of one job vs the other.

As a developer I’m very ”thankful” to a good manager shielding me from all the bullshit customers come up with — if they do their work well they indeed help productivity big time.
