Ask HN: Why do managers feel pride in saying that they are not technical?
This is not something new, but lately I have observed this behavior to be the in-thing with certain roles.
- daviddever23box 5y agoSome folks like being forcibly restrained as a matter of course, though it wouldn’t be my first choice.
- slater 5y agoIt lets them off the hook for future questions and work.
- readonthegoapp 5y agoI've never witnessed this. I _have_ worked with many managers who were not technical, and readily said as much, and often had a lot of domain knowledge, and that's what they were on the project for -- in addition to being the resident do-nothings -- which is now my job. :-D Climb the ladder, do less, get paid more -- god i love america.
