You lost me there but people with tech skills should lead technical people. Otherwise its like sending the senate to lead soldiers on the battlefield. They have no clue and either lose wars or use large numbers to win battles. And thats what some of the companies do - they hire loads and loads and loads of people to achieve what could be done with fewer, better organised, and better led people. Without exception, unicorns and faangs have been built by engineers working directly with stakeholders. Then they go down the path of layered management and bloat and end up the chryslers and fords of tomorrow.

Instead all non technical management should he fired, including pdf certified scrum masters and other imaginary roles, and tech people with skill and interest should be promoted.
