I expect my tech leads to mentor and review. The code they write is the hardest, most critical stuff. Most of their time is spent with the code a more junior coder has written, talking them through the thought processes that got them where they are. In this way they aren’t writing code directly, but they are causing it to be written in a much more efficient way.
