I'd probably be best described as some combination of a technical manager and a businessman. I write some code but there's people I work with who are much better technologists than I am. A few years back I wrote a cross platform make replacement due to issues with an existing recursive make solution not getting dependencies right due to issues with it creating the wrong DAG (http://lcgapp.cern.ch/project/architecture/recursive_make.pdf http://lcgapp.cern.ch/project/architecture/recursive_make.pd...). The recursive solution was used in the first place because it was fast but it happened to be incorrect (interesting how stuff like Pipenv has really long lock times because it's prioritizing correctness). So I have an awareness of some of the difficulties in this space very directly. Before I did some projects with build systems and packaging there were a lot of things I didn't know I didn't know.
