> A lot of talented lead engineers I know are terrible people managers, or ineffective project managers

Ok but non-technical “managers” are way worse.

Has more to do with role focus and hours in the day. I would rather have a dev dedicated to PM than a “manager” larping as one cringily trying to keep up with us totally ineffective to lead a technical team.

Tech companies are anything but technical anymore since they got rid of all the talent.
