Although rare, there are managers who are both technically competent and good at managing people (disparate skillsets). I think a manager who knows nothing about tech is often as destructive as a technical manager who's bad at people management. There just seems to be more of the former

I would say that if someone is supposedly good at people or managing, but bad at tech and therefore bad at managing tech, then they are not good at people or managing.
