[Alas Babylon!]

Run a job assessment with all top managers at VW, Audi, Porsche, BMW, and Daimler tomorrow and ask them to code a small game or a simple but working virus. If they are not able to do so, fire them immediately, because they are not fit for the job.

Stupid as F.

Software engineers and coders do not necessarily good managers make, nor vice versa.

Good managers would, however, support their best and brightest engineers and coders, and not sluff off the role to cheap Indian and Chinese coders. THOSE bean counting managers should be fired.

“Software engineers and coders do not necessarily good managers make, nor vice versa.”

Not my line of work, but my thinking is they need a solid understanding of what they are producing, not simply chasing numbers on a progress chart.

I have two cousins that started as engineers, one software the other hardware, and moved into management.
Both had long and succe$$ful careers as upper-level managers.
Rumor has it, many managers are simply spreadsheet jockeys that put on a good presentation?
