Or at least they should be able to understand the project from a technical point of view.
One of the most frustrating things working with non-technical managers is their lack of understanding of the effort needed to accomplish a task. Oh you need to re-write an entire library from scratch, work with Joe and have it done by Wednesday (today is Monday).
Now good luck explaining and convincing them that two days is not enough.
- whimsicalism 6y agoI really don't understand how companies get in the position where they think it is a good idea to have people who hardly know what a "library" is managing engineers.
- maccard 6y agoBecause managing people is a different job to development. Chances are a manager who can't code who is a shitty manager would still be a shitty manager if they could code.
- callinOutLiars 6y agoWhy should someone who has no clue how to code or debug lead people doing those activities? It’s like the seeing be lead by the blind.
