The best manager I've had described his job as "working for developers". Like a shared assistant that acts as the communication point for stakeholders, gladhands needy customers, completes rfps/security questionnaires/other paperwork, finds talent, etc. Seems like any other position - a great manager is priceless / a bad one is pernicious
