I knows it's fun and all to hate on managers, but they do perform a valuable function within an organization. If you're successful enough as an entrepreneur, it's almost guaranteed that you'll end up as one. Just because most people here identify more with the maker does not mean manager types should be disparaged.

Agreed. Any disparagement of managers was unintended.

I come here to mingle with fellow makers when I need a break from manager types. That's all.

In IT it seems that nearly all middle managers ended up in that job specifically to keep them from touching the systems or the codebase...
