@CodingPrincess - true. I've seen my fair share of stupid developers too. Although I would say the majority of times devs are more prone to being lazy than outright stupid.

I too hate on PMs and QAs. But I've come to appreciate the work they do. PMs can be ever so technically challenged but they make up for it when they got to cover my ass when a delivered item doesnt work like it's supposed to or I miss a deadline.
then they are my heroes. -
I misread the meme. I meant I am the PM and Developer, not that they're stupid. I thought you were sympathizing with PMs for dealing with dumbasses. I now realize you meant they're stupid. 😂 😑 #blondemoment

@CodingPrincess - haha, I see how that makes sense. I've been in the PM roll before too. If you have a PM that has technical knowledge it can actually work out really well. I got along great with all my devs because I am one and they respected my experience. My true passion is for coding though so I left to do contract work. Cheers to the hard work and don't let office politics get you down!
@port22 - I have no illusions. A knowledgeable PM can be one of the best things ever and a great buffer for devs. However, I used to work for a PM that had no idea how software development really worked. They always knew the best way to do things even though they had never actually produced anything. When you have to explain a simple concept as to why something needs to be done a certain way 5 f-ing times and they still don't understand, it's not a good place to be.
