I want you to be skilled. Very skilled. I've learned software development, software security, machine learning, data analysis, calculus, physical sciences and engineering, technical report writing, photography, the basics of design and colour theory, financial instruments, how to manage projects and people, and the basics of economics and law. It is not too much to expect that a technical manager learn at least one real programming language and use it to ship one real app before they start to try to understand and coordinate developers and designers. This is not too much to expect. I've been learning Russian for over a year and I expect it will be at least another year before I can comfortably have a conversation. You can at least do a Ruby or Objective C over a eight week bootcamp.
