Managers should be coders. I don't believe there are exceptions to that rule, at least I've never seen a good exception.

I thinks that works up to some team size.

But a manager’s job is different than a developer, so I would not expect a manager to be the best developer, as she should be learning management skills. That is why “good managers ... also know their limits and wisely stay away from the code.”
