I don't see how he couldn't. Managing and coding are both full time jobs. How could he possibly run one of the fastest growing and most influential companies in the world while still remain an effective member of the Engineering team?

On an anecdotal note, I recall reading a story recently about how the FB Engineers gave Zuck a canned 5-minute bugfix which ended up taking him close to an hour. He's clearly rusty, and with good cause.



I know he can. but, I feel that it's not easy. I myself find it extremely difficult. One does not simply give up coding.

I think there must be many others here who must have faced difficulty in making a transition from developer to manager.
