What does an Engineering Manager do?

In this video I'm talking abouet engineering management - who is an engineering manager? What does an engineering manager do? Do engineering managers write code? After a short walk around Amsterdam I'm going to tell you about different hats that engineering managers need to wear depending on kind of a company they work for.

In the video I mention article by Pat Kua that I highly recommend: 📝 https://www.patkua.com/blog/5-engineering-manager-archetypes/
