I mean I have 7 reports right now and we're a startup. And fully remote. And I'm still contributing as an IC too.

A manager who is also contributing code is almost an entirely different role than a manager who is not contributing code. Typically the former should not exist in a smaller org and in a larger org it makes sense to shift to the latter because there's enough non-code work to do that you might as well dedicate whole people to the task.

Different roles though.
