If you're equating 'management' with 'supervision' then it's no wonder you feel this way. All of our managers are non-technical and they really have no reason to be. Their skills are with people, process, and logistics and I wouldn't have it any other way. They have to deal with all the bullshit so I can sit in my office and actually do work.

You are supposed to be your management's bullshit detector. Sure, in an ideal world everyone in your office would be perfectly knowledgeable about all relevant topics but I would rather have management that's actually good at management, knows nothing about tech and knows they know nothing about tech over one that knows just enough to be dangerous.

If you look at the advice in the article, it is quite clear it is for people providing 'supervision', not managing logistics.
