I must disagree. The best project manager I've ever worked
under was actually a very capable programmer himself--and
that showed. On the other hand, he also was extremely good
at refraining from backseat driving, so there is something
to the idea that good managers don't tinker with gizmos and
whatchamacallits, no matter how good or bad at tinkering
they are.
