Then what term, if not "boss", do you use for someone who lacks technical skills but has the skills to decide how to manage the investments and balance profit against growth opportunities and for those reasons gives you direction and instructions?
- apalmer 14y agoEhhh dont disagree with you on a theoretical level, but are the average software development manager management skills sooooooo strong that it totally overrides basic technical proficiency? definitely there are a individuals that this is true for... but most development managers naw...
- mcherm 14y agoExcept in very rare cases where a company is staffed almost entirely by former engineers, it is almost always the case that when you go far enough up the management hierarchy you will encounter someone who is perfectly smart, but doesn't happen to know why idempotent calls are useful (or even what "idempotent" means). That is the person this chart is intended for. It may not be your immediate boss, but perhaps HER boss, or another step up the chain.
