Do you prefer your manager to be technical or non technical?
I must say, working for a non technical manager is exhausting. Having to constantly explain basic things gets tiring very quickly.
I don't understand how a non technical person can "lead" a technical team. How can they even help the team because they don't even understand basic concepts. How are these people getting these technical jobs is beyond me. I keep running into these "engineering managers" who know nothing about engineering and I'm sick and tired of it. I just want a technical manager who is on the same level as the technical people on the team or at least understands what the engineers are talking about during meetings.
