My experience has been that most managers wind up going to meetings all day and stop contributing technically.
I briefly (a couple years) managed a small team (<5 developers) and it was torture. Not worth the relatively small increase in $.
How do you reward your skilled coders? Let them do real, interesting work and not deal with bullshit (this includes all the time wasting "agile" meetings.)
