It should be condescending to these bad managers. I've only ever had one technical manager and he was by far the best manager I ever had. People who cant code shouldn't be managing development teams and I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings but it's the truth from where I stand. I'd even go so far as to say you are far better off with a technical product owner than a non technical one.
- LurkingPenguin 5y agoThe impression from reading the post is that just about every manager is bad. The ones who can't code. The ones who can. The author, on the other hand, knows it all, has nothing to learn, and can do no wrong. As someone who started as an engineer, moved up to management and then started my own companies, I've seen first hand that very few things hurt an organization more than employees who think they know it all and that everyone else is a problem that can't be fixed. You can (usually) fix bad code. You can almost never fix a toxic attitude. This post contains way too many of the toxic attitude red flags.
