As a technical manager this article bugs me because it's pointing to issues with hiring that are only being made worse by having a non-technical manager. You need to hire developers that are professionals capable of being independent, and most important, responsible. If you have developers that aren't accounting for simple things like memory or performance then you have a problem with that employee. It's something you can coach, and if that doesn't work out, then you let them go. Having a non-technical manager makes this worse because you can't spot the problem early, and the developer doesn't have the strong sense of oversight that comes from the boss being able to read your pull requests.
