> You can't lead developers if you have no clue about developing. Sorry. Laissez-Faire Leadership. I've been on several massive teams where the project managers had no idea about the tech stack, but worked so well with the dev teams that they relied on the devs to give them input on tasks and proper expectations and allowed them the ability to have a stake in the game, not just sitting there taking directions from people who know nothing about their tech stack. I think its disingenuous to say you can't lead developers without having an intimate knowledge of the tech stack they're using. I've worked on small teams and massive teams and in only a few cases ran into non-technical managers who thought they could strong arm developers into hasty releases and poorly coded prototypes. Most of the managers I've worked with who were not technical, went out of their way to build a more affable relationship with developers since they knew we were the key to the project's success.
