For example, there are plenty of excellent soccer coaches that have never played soccer.
This type of thread shows up every couple of months here, and people use their anecdotal experience to define a whole role (which is different within itself and between organizations), which just feeds prejudice about a particular type of people, non-dev managers.
When in reality you have great managers from both technical and non-technical background.
- halfmatthalfcat 5y agoDepends more on the team than the person tbh. Sure you can have a great manager in either lane but if they don't gel with the team, it's ultimately going to fail. Most of the teams I've worked on don't want people managers in the chain of command, obviously anecdotal.
