Have you actually checked the job offers? 😉
With very few (I found 3 when skimming the offers) exceptions those offers are either for jobs not related to actual SW development but again for managers and the others (the majority of the offers) are for other companies that just name Dice in the text.
@DuaneDibbley do not underestimate managing role in development process. It is still plays a big role. Especially when you need to make a plan and hit deadlines. Quality are on programmers and artists but making em all work in one direction is manager job.

I am myself an rather experienced C++ developer with almost 20 years of experience in the field. And sure, for project management you need a few good managers and POs and as developers having a good scrum master cannot hurt to shield you from management requests and to make sure you can do your job. 😉
But at the current state where there are no developers left, hiring new managers does not help.- @DuaneDibbley they can hire few extremely effective managers to fire those who is still there XD
Though I agree they should prioritise developers over managers and especially keep developers and not exchanging them for new blood.
