Exactly. Also, these PMs are likely to act in a way that will get good developers to quit and will not hire someone because they are too competent. I don't think it is always malicious though. They view themselves as a valuable part of software development. So when someone says that micromanaging good developers and putting them in 15 meeting a week is counterproductive, the PM assumes that person is lying or wrong. I MEAN IF NO ONE IS MANAGING THE DEVELOPERS, NOTHING WILL GET DONE.

What they don't realize is that if you put nontechnical people in charge of programmers, nothing will get done.
