Works just as well the other way around. Every time managers are mentioned at HN, some programmer is sure they can do a better job than their/most/all managers.

- jinfiesto 8y agoThat's because programmers can do management. It's not unusual to see engineers get tracked into management. I have certainly never seen it go the other way (partially because managers usually make more than engineers I'm sure.)
- rplst8 8y agoTo add to that, you can't be a human being on this planet without some sort of management skills.
- softawre 8y agoYeah, and most of the time (at least at places I've worked) the managers are former coders. So arguing that all managers are stupid just seems silly to me. Also, yes - anybody can do management, and anybody can do coding. Learning to do either effectively is a skill.
