Telling or managing a team of 20 people to put products on shelves is a lot harder than putting products on shelves.
- baobabKoodaa 5y agoI like the analogy, but I don't fully agree with it. If the "product on shelf" is a basic CRUD app, then sure, managing a team of 20 people might be harder than doing the individual tasks related to putting the product on shelf, but oftentimes there are challenging technical aspects related to the product. In some cases those technical challenges might be harder than management of the team.
