Not to be disrespectful, but your response sounds like those arrogant Stack Overflow responses that are simply not helpful. There is enough in his question for anyone to provide a proper answer.

  It's actually NOT okay to be disrespectful. Saying someone's response was "arrogant" is not disrespectful; calling them stupid for being arrogant - that would be disrespectful. Perceiving my comment to be disrespectful, I think, is a part of the larger societal problem that exists today; namely, of people being overly-sensative. Friend, I will gently invite you to toughen up.

    It's precisely because I'm not oversensitive that I see disrespect as a normal and at times productive human response. You can define "disrespect" however you wish. It matters little to the recipient who undoubtedly feels slighted at the "arrogant" characterization.

      Jimmy, I can only say this man. Your comment history on HN worries me. It's very, very negative, and hear me out. I'm not putting you down, but when there is anger or bitterness in one's heart that hasn't been dealt with, it's easy to only see, or even create, negativity in life. I don't want to argue with you. Just know that you can make a decision to root for others, uplift people with your comments on HN, and sometimes just totally pass up opportunities to argue and move on to a positive comment. Jumping from argument to argument on HN will only create anger and hate in your heart. I could be totally wrong. This is just my opinion. Regardless, I wish you the best man.

        "I'm not putting you down [then puts me down]" You did it again. Please, it's okay to put people down.

The only question (and it appears to be the majority of the responses here) that looks like you can answer well is if other people have done what he's considering doing. Maybe that's the discussion he's looking for; the comments to that affect are definitely good. The remaining questions regarding coding vs. management or what skills to 'brush up on' are very person-dependent beyond general platitudes. Sure, discussions can be had, but it kind of depends on what he wants.
