I don't know - in my experience as a programmer, when I work for somebody that's never worked as a programmer, they tend to estimate based on how long they wish something would take (which is usually an hour, two max). Ex-programmers turned managers who still code from time to time are far more realistic about how long something might take to complete.

- bluefirebrand 6y agoMy experience with the > Ex-programmers turned managers who still code from time to time are far more realistic about how long something might take to complete. Is that they had huge egos and thought they could do everything in much less time than I could, or would just "put in the time to make sure it was done when it had to be" So nah, I prefer not having ex programmers as my manager.
