Thanks!!

Probably, but not everyone has the luxury of a great tech person to lead their remote tech team.

Also, if it’s a field where the nontechnical person has some level of domain expertise, they arguably have a better sense of product direction, even if they’re lacking product dev mechanics.

I hope this post helps them get those mechanics!

glad it resonates, painful stuff using waterfall at this stage

Thanks! Will ask my colleagues at YouTeam to fix this!

Glad it’s useful!

Glad it helps!

Glad you like it + appreciate the kind words.

OP here: I wrote this post to shed some light on everything I've learned about managing remote developer teams when you're nontechnical (as in you don't write usable code for your product).

I also wrote this to shed light on how we build product at The Lobby, in hopes that it will attract the candidate we're looking for to lead our engineering efforts in NYC.

Happy to answer questions or discuss anything here!

Hello! Thanks for the candid feedback. Only time will tell :). best of luck
