Dick is insecure in his own abilities and has probably hit the wall per the Peter Principle. Good managers get out of the way of their developers; Dicks micromanage and hamper the creativity and growth of their developers because they fear that one day a developer may make them irrelevant. Nobody likes to work for a Dick.
Yes. A Dick has probably risen to his level of incompetence. Or, might just be incompetant, not knowing that the hell those developers are doing all the time.
