You should know, as a technical person, that the 'manager' can be considered an anti-pattern: https://blog.codinghorror.com/i-shall-call-it-somethingmanager/ https://blog.codinghorror.com/i-shall-call-it-somethingmanag... You should also know from your education in technical matters that Conway's principle applies in practice and the software you create will ultimately reflect the communication structures within your organization You'd better get hip to the the idea that people expect real human relationships at work and not some false corporate signalling disguised as casual engagement I'm sorry but I don't like your prospects at all and it sounds like you're arrived at your Peter principle moment

Not very encouraging, but the coding horror post refers to the name. Not the underlying need for the code. One of my jobs is to mentor, which is something I liked doing in my prior job (different company). I also understand the business reasonably well so hopefully there’s something I can offer my people.

  "Abandon hope all ye who enter here' is my best advice to you fellow, but that you actually care is a promising sign. Most managers I've had the displeasure to work with have gamed the heuristics until they've lost all meaning as if they'd never even stumbled upon Goodhart's law
