Hell yeah. I was honestly pretty surprised by this reaction here. On one hand, I can agree with the argument about focusing on strategy rather than coding — it makes sense. But on the other hand, I’m personally so tired of all this management bullshit out there, where the higher-ups have no idea about even the high-level technical abstractions of what’s going on under the hood in the projects they’re leading. Just imagine the level of incompetence when a Staff Engineer can mislead a Project Owner about the complexity of implementing simple pagination — and the POs and PMs are totally fine with it, like, “let’s just postpone it.” Hell yeah.
