At my first coding job, my project manager would stay late hoursβ after work, doing online coding bootcamps because he wanted to be more "useful" to us. π
At my second coding job, my project manager would pull the repo and submit pull requests whenever we were falling behind.β π π
At my last coding job, my project manager refused to do anything but attend meetings. He siloed the teams and made us all go through him even though he had no technical knowledge. π‘ So I told him point blank: "you know what your problem is? You need to learn to code." Then he put me on a performance improvement plan. Then I quit that job and he later got fired. π π₯
I decided that no matter what my role is, I will always push code. Leaders don't tell people what to do. They walk the path that others tread.β β π π«
