I don't see the problem here either. Sounds like somebody overheard that comment and had no real answer hence "they're a shitbird".
I want to take instruction from managers who have literally done the thing they're asking for.
There is a reason vast majority of football coaches/managers are former players I don't see why that should be different from software -- even those managers who didn't play professional football often have a pro background in another team sport.
- tomtheelder 3y ago> There is a reason vast majority of football coaches/managers are former players The reason there is nepotism. It’s insanely difficult for anyone without preexisting connections to get any sort of coaching opportunity. I definitely think ex players make worse coaches, generally speaking. They just have an almost insurmountable leg up. I do think eng managers should be technical, though. Not because I think you need to have done a job to manage it, but because they are frequently asked to make what amount to being technical decisions.
