"they knew their limitations"
That's the key here. And it's really a coin toss whether previous programming experience makes a manager more aware of limitations or completely oblivious. Perhaps most likely both at once, acutely aware of being disconnected from the state of the art (or even from the state of the art within the org, even if that's also far behind) yet completely underestimating the actual amount.
