There are so many HN posts along the lines of "I'm great at building software and love it, but after 5-6 years became a manager because of pay/promotion/expectation. I hate it and don't do anything technical now, but here's how I cope."
I have a hunch that the industry is losing lots of poductivity because of such perverse incentives.
- the_overseer 4y agoBecause the people good at managing don't spend time complaining on HN. I strongly recommend that if you "are great at building software and love it" to learn managing. It's just a force multiplier. Like using an even higher level language. Programming people basically.
