For me:
Sometimes it doesn’t matter how hard you work, your going to get laid off either way.
Just showing up can sometimes make the difference.
Your not paid to be a software developer. Your being paid to be a problem solver.

Managers aren’t there to do your job. They are there to clear the way so you can do your job. Handle schedules, handle HR requests, filter bullshit coming from above you.
As a manager, my goal is to have people smarter and better than me under me. Give them the space to do what they do best. While I give them the direction on what they should be working on. Half of what I do is make sure they aren’t wasting time focusing on stuff that doesn’t actually push the project forward.
And if someone is put in a supervisor position and can’t handle those tasks either? I didn’t say they didn’t know my job, they literally didn’t know what THEY were doing.
