Good Engineering Managers Just "Don't Exist"

[sl4shd0t]

hype7 writes "Here's a provocative article; the VP of engineering of a Sequoia-backed startup in Silicon Valley makes the case that good engineering managers aren't just hard to find — that they basically don't exist. The crux of his argument? The best engineers get all the benefits of being leaders, but without needing to take on the rather painful duties of management. So they choose not to move up. Compare this to the engineers who aren't as strong, and use the opportunity to move up as a way to get their voice heard." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Good+Engineering+Managers+Just+%22Don' t+Exist%22%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F1meCooV) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F14%2F02%2F13%2F2215204%2Fgood-engineering-managers-just-dont-exist%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfaceb ook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/14/02/13/2215204/good-engineering-managers-just-dont-exist?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
