I'm a PM, and I've had to live through a fair number of god awful engineers. It's miserable to work with them, too.

I don't malign the profession because I've had bad experiences. Engineers should be smart enough to know that experiencing a bad manager, or even a few bad managers doesn't mean that " people who live in these roles are overall bad, don't know how to effectively execute these tasks and present an aura of superiority over the technical roles when they're providing very little value at all."

That's just being irrational and salty.
