Sounds like a weird thing, if not toxic, of the boss to do. Is the boss a developer? Then why are they the boss and not an equal? Are they in a managing position? Then why do they get involved with the developer's work? Don't they trust their own employee?
I could imagine it maybe, if they were a business of 10 people. Or perhaps the title "boss" is wrong and they meant senior and they themselves being junior dev or so. Otherwise it is really weird and the boss should get out of their face and let them do their job.

- Kiro 3y agoI've never had a boss who couldn't code. Very strange thing to rant about.
- oytis 3y agoEven if they can it doesn't mean they should. People managers should manage people and let engineers engineer. Even if they are former engineers themselves
