IMHO, maker/manager boundary is quickly disappearing. In the past, makers built systems from predictable but brittle parts, while managers used less predictable but more adaptable humans. Now most engineers have to deal with distributed and adaptive systems while managers have to use and understand a lot of technical systems, so both makers and managers are exposed to very similar challenges.
