I agree with the gist of the article. The point is not to throw manager into actual coding task, but for them to have a background understanding of how everything works either through formerly being a software engineer or $(multiple ways one can educate oneself on the principals of computer science). My anecdotal evidence have strongly pointed that for a software project, managers that have an understanding of computer science have a strong edge on communication and decision making.
