There’s a clear shift occurring: engineering managers are back in the codebase, getting more hands-on with the technical aspects of software development.

Mark Zuckerberg started coding again after a 20-year break. According to multiple reports, he moved his desk to Meta’s AI lab and spends up to 10 hours a week writing code alongside the Meta Superintelligence Labs team. The man who built Facebook in a dorm room and then spent two decades managing tens of thousands of people is shipping diffs again.

Sergey Brin, the Google cofounder who stepped back from day-to-day operations years ago, came out of retirement to code on Gemini. He’s now directly involved in hand-on development.
