George Hotz once mentioned in an [1] interview; Managing people just another abstraction in making software. You can think of people kind of like an IDE that you can use to create things... I thought it was an interesting way to view management.

- marmaduke 8y agoYeah my boss certainly sees me and my colleague as a technical problem solving API: he says “now that I have told you what the problem, it is no longer my problem, and I don’t want an update unless it’s the solution.” I think this is sort of ok at a high competence level, but fails when the people you work with are less experienced. One could say the same of an IDE I suppose..
- Aeolun 8y agoAt a low competence level, this leads to non-solutions that still have to be used because of deadlines.
- spockz 8y agoI would argue that the how is up to the team and it is the boss/managers level to ensure the right competencies are present in the team. Having the boss join the team is not sustainable.
- laythea 8y agoThis is probably a very efficient mentality, but I find it equally depressing.
