My current boss fits this mold, he has a development background, and I don't know if he can code or not, but when it comes to technical and/or architectural concerns, he 'gets' it, and he's a presenting, selling, webinar fiend. He frequently impresses the hell out of me by simplifying complex requirements down to the basics and saying 'if you guys can get me this subset, that will satisfy most of the costomers/prospects' or 'all I need is this simple subset for most of the reporting requirements'. This dude is Gold.
- mark_integerdsv 13y agoThanks so much for posting this. I am similar to the guy you describe. Background in development but been in analysis for a while now... I kept seeing myself in the descriptions of cretins in this thread while looking for a post like yours. It's not just about functions and classes. A lot of what happens around actual code is also very important. Specifically where it reduces the amount of code that needs to be written which directly impacts quality.
