Whenever I've worked with managers who didn't understand the field, interactions have always gone something like this I've seen that, but there's something even worse. It's when a manager who doesn't understand something thinks that it must be simple and/or easy. Where I experienced it firsthand was working for a VP of Engineering who was from a hardware background. He didn't grok software and therefore believed that it should be easy to do. I didn't mind, I was one of the hardware guys. But that meant that the software guys at the company were sucking hind tit. Hey, at least its better than working for a company run by sales and/or marketing people. They have contempt for both the hardware guys and the software guys.
