Whatever for? Programmers work with machines because the results are predictable and controllable. Unlike people, who don't do as you ask, don't tell the truth, and have their own agenda.
- whywhywhywhy 4y agoI agree with the title but more of a case that the alternative is having people who desperately just want to manage who usually make the worst managers.
- Manjuuu 4y agoThe unpredictability of people is a myth.
- merlinran 4y agoWell working with machines wouldn't need sprint planning and code review. I think peer programmers are also uncontrollable, the business requirements and technology evolvements can be unpredictable, and the customers/users have their own agenda, and they're kinda what/whom senior programmers tend to care about. They don't represent the responsibilities of a manager role though.
