I'll just leave this here. :)

"I’ve gone back and forth on whether managers should code and my opinion is: don’t stop coding. Each week that passes where you don’t share the joy, despair, and discovery of software development is a week when you slowly forget what it means to be a software developer. Over time it means you’ll have a harder time talking to engineers because you’ll forget how they think and how they become bored."

I love it that our CTO still codes, debugs and shares the pain as everyone else. He would even apologize, as anyone else for making mistakes here and there.

Fuckin awesome chap!

We used to have a TD long time ago, russian dude, that somehow forgot how to run Visual Studio, yet he was just a coder year before that. Amazing transformation!

That is such a good article! Managing Humans (book written by him) is also a good resource for managers. I loved that book!

It doesn't seem to be listed on HN-Books. Seems like quite an omission considering the number of articles that get posted from randsinrepose.
