Managers should not be creating software. Directly or indirectly (unless you're a product manager or in a position where you have to take PM responsibilities). I've had too many managers try to insert themselves in design decisions, micromanaging and what not. Managers should be managing people. Making people happier and more productive and communicating what your people can and cannot do with the higher ups. Even deadlines and milestones, etc should be PM responsibilities, not dev managers.
