On: Why I love solo programming (and why I hated working for Pivotal)

Funny, I've heard the opposite; from managers, of course :)

As a hacker I'm of course biased, but still I've heard the statement above from a manager in a moment of truth :)

[mchanson → kunley]

I think there is plenty of bad programmers and bad managers. I don't think either profession is a lot better than the other. (I am a coder and manager)

[lucisferre → mchanson]

Except that it's easy for just about anyone to spot a bad manager. A manager who doesn't actually know how to code couldn't spot a bad programmer if they fell into them.
