Delegating work is still work which needs to be done. In a large organization, figuring out which work to delegate to who is a full-time job. Just creating the (ever-changing) structure of the company - what positions you have, what responsibilities they take, etc - is also a pretty hefty effort, done by managers.
It's difficult for me to not parallel your "no hard skill" complaint with how farmers in my country complain that programmers "don't create any physical product" but get paid more. Organizing even small numbers of people(10-20) calls for someone with quality soft skills, otherwise the efficiency of everyone drops significantly.
- artellectual 9y agoI think you misunderstand my point about 'hard skill'. When I say 'hard skill' I mean any kind of skill contributing to the product (by product I mean the actual product and working with the customer). Whether it's physical goods or providing some kind of service. As for the point about farmers complaining programmers don't create 'physical' product that's a whole different discussion. That complaint is coming from someone who due to whatever constraint hasn't taken the time to understand, the nature of the software business.
