You need experienced managers as the size of an organization grows. For development teams you need an engineering manager to work with product to design stories, orchestrate work with other teams, and to provide technical mentorship. The author conflates "all managers" with "project managers." and implies this is some artifact of the hegemony. My experience with project managers is that they are largely an artifact of waterfall-style software development and are not as necessary today in agile environments. But they can be helpful in the orchestration of large-scale projects. I've personally never been in a situation (I've worked in software development for over 25 years) where we were hiring an engineering manager, and hired a "business type" instead. I'm hiring a development manager now, and the first step in that process is a coding interview. They cannot go further unless they pass that. This whole article reads more like an us-vs-them rant than anything else.
