@webapp i get the point, i'm just concerned about who say it. He's the responsible of managging projects, define time estimates and resources and whatnot. i don't think he can do his job well with that kind of... humm mindset
-
@Fast-Nop the sad part is for those who work with him. I would be mad asf if i were forced to work whit this idiot.

@ab-rico90 I absolutely get your point, and understand your frustration. Your PM should have your back, you should stick together, you should be a team. His condescending attitude is repulsive.
I’m a project manager myself, I see myself as a part of the team. I’m not above my colleagues and my role is, in my opinion, a facilitating one. We’re on the same side, and I need them as much as they need me.
I also notice that this attitude gets me a lot of respect from my team! -
It seems like you could write an algorithm in pseudo code describing his job. It could be complete with "make condescending remarks about other's professions" as a bullet point. It would take some time to figure out the intricacies but then it could be strategically placed on his desk at some point. Label it "<name> job description", and "now anyone can do it by following this algorithm". It would tell him he is not that special, and that a programmer could certainly do his job if needed. He already fails at the one requirement needed to be a good manager: "don't be an asshole".

@Demolishun lmao, that algorithm thing is pure genius. 👏👏
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
So, my last rant here was 3 years ago, and i just signed in again to devrant to post this fucking shit.
There is this guy who is a Project Manager in my office, I haven´t work with him but he sits in front of me and i have to listen to his bullshit almost every fucking day. Anyways, the other day he was talking to some other guy (a PM, also) and he said something like this:
"Programming is the most overrated thing ever, everyone can do it, you could do it, i could do it just googling stuff, i could even replace almost every programmer in this office, it´s the easiest thing ever. a programmer couldn´t do my job even if his life depended on it ´cause they can´t talk, they can´t manage people, they can´t manage their own time, heck they can´t even manage to talk to each other. they´re just a bunch of incels who think they´re important and their job is shit anyway".
They don´t see us as human begins, they see us as necessary evil.
