What is wrong here...

"The old rule used to be that a manager of a programmer was always a better programmer, and there were no what we called “technical inversions,” where a programmer works for somebody who doesn’t know how to program. We still follow that philosophy: At certain levels we’ve got business managers, but we don’t have non-programmers really managing programming projects."

-- Bill Gates, 1986 - Programmers at Work

And its hard to imagine many projects executed in our industry that don't suffer from this inversion. Wish we were following similar rules here...its a joke discussing things with the manager some times.
