So you are a manager who sits and writes programs?
After reading his posts, I would posit that Cronos is a manager who understands enough about the various tools and platforms used in IT to have a solid grasp of what is involved in producing accurate, dependable, scalable code using the most appropriate tool and professional for the platform and task at hand.
yup. I have no use for a PM who has no knowledge of programming, no logic etc. Do I do programming on a daily basis for the code? no. But I do chip in when I can and I have no intention of dissipating my logical skills. I would suggest you do the same instead of thinking that “any intermediate programmer can do just as good a job” — your kind of thinking leads to spaghetti code at best..
