You're absolutely right. I'm assuming the other hackers that are interviewing the manager will take care of that. Usually, technical skills are almost the only focus, so the post focuses only on the management skills. I was part of a team interviewing manager candidates, and it seemed the only thing people focused on was technical ability. We passed by several very good candidates who were only so-so technically, and got someone who was really good technically but failed pretty much every question asked here. He proved so incompetent that we let him go after a few months. It was actually kind of depressing, I could see the wrong decisions being made, but none of the other hackers knew much about this "management stuff," so I couldn't convince them.
