You are not alone! Most of the engineering managers who I know (and who are good people managers) miss coding.
A simple solution would be some retreat once in a while, where you get together with other developers (or engineering managers with the same problem), and code away, or hack something up. This could be a hackathon or coding-dojo/coderetreat format—these are extremely fun!
You can organize such events internally in your company, join/hold community ones, and even probably go to conferences where there are such full-day activities.
I have even more thoughts and ideas about this and how this can be done. If you are interested in chatting about it (in person or video call), drop me a line via alex [at] foundsiders [dot] com!
Best,
Alex
