Naive question, isn't it better for a technical person to lead a dev team ?

Probably, but not everyone has the luxury of a great tech person to lead their remote tech team.

Also, if it’s a field where the nontechnical person has some level of domain expertise, they arguably have a better sense of product direction, even if they’re lacking product dev mechanics.

I hope this post helps them get those mechanics!

Microsoft believed that from its inception.
