Most programmers I know (myself included) don't need managers but facilitators, people who get shit out of the way so I can do my job.

On the contrary, that is one of the primary roles of a development manager.

My point is, manager is associated with "control" whereas facilitator is associated with "providing". I.e. most developers don't need managers.

Maybe call them "development facilitator"?
