If someone told me "I don't know. I went to business school", I'd then ask "So why are you managing programmers, shouldn't you be managing business people?"

But all joking aside, I think there are few MBAs so dense as the one portrayed in this article. Sadly, I'll probably be proven wrong...

Somehow software engineers can be as dense as the MBA in the example.

I had a manager who used to be a dev. He remarked that a certain teammate is really productive and gets so much done. I asked how he knew and he said that when the teammate is on call he is able to close a large number of tickets.

I showed him that the teammate just closed all the tickets as “self resolved” or “can’t reproduce”.

i am missing the real punchline. did the manager accept the explanation and change his view?
