I find it funny how enthused programmers are about creating localised surveillance states for every other worker, yet the mere idea of having a manager for coders is anathema to so many if them. Coders aren't that special. Over management makes everything worse, programming isn't a special case.

- JohnFen 3y agoI don't think you can really generalize this attitude. I, for one, want to have a good manager. A good manager makes my work more pleasant and makes me more able to produce quality. Having a manager is not anathema to me, or most of the devs I've worked with, at all. This essay seems to confuse "engineering manager" with "bad manager". Nobody, in any field, needs a bad manager. A good manager is worth their weight in gold.
