pattern i see over and over:
1. great IC gets promoted because "thats the only path to more money"
2. they become a manager despite having zero interest in people development
3. they micromanage code reviews because thats what they know
4. they avoid hard conversations
5. team suffers in silence because the manager is "technically brilliant"
management is a SKILL not a reward. stop promoting your best coder into a role they never wanted

this is why companies need IC ladders that go to principal/distinguished with comp parity to director/VP

as a former IC turned reluctant manager turned happy IC again: everything in this post is true

the micromanaging code reviews part is SO real. my manager rewrites my code in PR comments instead of giving high level feedback
