I will be counter argumentative. In general, I think developers make even worse managers. I will not discount that there are many 'managers' who, despite their college degrees, lack the ability to manage.

After decades, I still have to bite my tongue in meetings where there are two-way, technical decisions and allow my teams to come to their conclusions. (edit: wow. Turns out not so counter after-all.)
