> I find it abhorrent that this thread thinks these things are unimportant. Just use a "Library". How about you know your stuff .

How about the fact that "your stuff" is not algorithm. In 99% "your stuff" is to pick the right library

You mentioned all three things that algo-strong dev will also do. Because there is no correlation

The problem is that knowledge needed for exams is needed for exams only, and does not correlate with your overall expertise.

Re:Do pro software devs memorize language syntax? on Tuesday November 05, 2019 @05:21AM (#21451122)
Language and its syntax is the last thing I care about. You just have to find the right tool for each task.
Communicate status with stakeholders is PMs responsibility. And, I guess, in 95% of cases, PM can do this without talking to dev. By just looking in jira for example... But they just can't. They continue asking if dev is still on time. They setting up usless meetings, just to see people talk to each other. Micromanagement.

Can you then provide an example of how PM makes life of a developer easier?
