Not quite.

Someone who is in a management position, has good political skills and good connections will be way more efficient at doing some of this non-programming work.

This is something that even C-levels forget. Something that takes a CTO 2 minutes to do can take several months for a regular developer to achieve, and I have plenty of experience on and plenty of examples of that.

Yeah. I think the whole drama around rust on Linux is a great example of this. If Linus came forward and clearly supported (or clearly rejected) rust on Linux, it would have saved a lot of people months of stress and heartache.

Exactly, that's a perfect example.
