If I explain the technical stuff to another programmer, spot on indeed.

Managers who don't know what a variable is, SQL or TCP or a while loop or whatever, in my experience it is just that: dumb questions.

Something's terribly wrong with the hiring if managers for a tech team are that clueless about tech, though.

Sometimes a good manager can help by expanding the solution space or by shifting the problem somewhere else.
