So my manager is making the designer (who didn't know how to code) of our team learn front-end development. We are so hopeful for a peaceful future.

Is the intent of this comment as sarcastic as it sounds?

@LHofman No we're actually hopeful that he'll understand the developer's perspective better while designing, after he learns to code

@RikaroDev still not believing it

We promoted our waiter to head sous-chef so they have a chef's perspective while bussing after learning to cook.

We promoted our detailer to lead frontend mechanic so they'll have a mechanics perspective while cleaning after learning what's under the hood.

We promoted our receptionist to lead CPA so they'll have a CPA's perspective while tending to customers after learning the intricacies of tax law.
