I’m a project manager and find it hilarious! But i’ve also been technical.

I’ve never met one of them in the wild. A rare thing indeed.

They're actually more common than engineers with understanding of project management or the concerns that they quite reasonably have. And they're way more valuable than a zug-zug eng.
