Looks good on the CV though and managers who hire-by-cv-not-sense love that kind of thing. You'd be amazed at how many interviews I've failed by pointing out that following the latest trends and over-engineering isn't always a good plan.

Also means there's a constant supply of work for contractors who can unpick that kind of gibberish back into reliable systems which is nice.

But do you really want to work at a company with managers that have zero technical experience? To me it always has been extremely annoying working with people that can't imagine the magnitude of work, that some "small" changes come with.

My current boss and company owner is also a programmer and its far easier and good for my nerves. He just doesnt have the time to code anymore.
