The first is considered to be an anti-pattern, the second is more contentious. To be fair, maybe there should be another Wiki article: <I>Developers Don't Manage</I>. :-)Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07891935693405288952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480357.post-1143129653008394202006-03-23T11:00:00.000-05:002006-03-23T11:00:00.000-05:00and, being your favorite product manager, I WANT y...and, being your favorite product manager, I WANT you to code, too! I don't know if I'd want managers coding, but I think the point is that they should understand the product at some deeper level.<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>ChrisChris Recklinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04982748496248944811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480357.post-1143081115065130122006-03-22T21:31:00.000-05:002006-03-22T21:31:00.000-05:00Kudla, you're unforgettable!!Glad to see you have ...Kudla, you're unforgettable!!<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you have a blog, too :-)Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783404920615182265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480357.post-1142718547935776682006-03-18T16:49:00.000-05:002006-03-18T16:49:00.000-05:00Hey Maureen, not sure if you remember me, but our ...Hey Maureen, not sure if you remember me, but our careers overlapped at Iris for a while, back in the late 90's....<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I dig your blog, and am an avid reader, even if you don't post nearly often enough :-)<BR/><BR/>I totally agree with your sentiment on being a coding architect. It really struck a chord with me, as I just had my annual review and was dinged for being too quick to dive in to the implementation and not maintain the broader perspective of an architect.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, the same concepts you espouse for architects apply to managers of development groups as well.Kudlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331762559768667878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480357.post-1142261793009557142006-03-13T09:56:00.000-05:002006-03-13T09:56:00.000-05:00amenamenPete Lyonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129198124713707459noreply@blogger.com
