Yes, and developers should manage 30% of the time and do design work 30% of the time. You know, because good management and good design is essential to a good product, and just saying that you have "done some" design or management in the past isn't good enough.
- zeroonetwothree 13y agoIt's common for engineers to do some simple design work. And every employee does some management.
- jeremyt 13y agoYes, but the point being made here is that managers should do more. They should spend all of a whole 30% of their time coding, which presumably includes real coding projects, not "some simple" coding. After all, if all you're doing is checking in bug fixes occasionally, how are you really going to know the advantages and disadvantages of redis or puppet or any of the other tools used on a daily basis on engineering teams.
