Wow. No, they forfeited their freedoms and we're put away by due process, but if that's your point of view then we've nothing further to discuss. Incredible stuff on HN these days.

I can't tell if you're agreeing or not? I'm not asserting anything about if a manager should code, but rather calling out a statement in the article. A good engineering manager should never be surprised by some new functional
