That situation is in the 'good problems to have' category.
absolutely
You just don't wake up one day and understand software development. If you do work as a software developer though, you will wake up one day and realize that you actually know very little about software development.
this is the truth
If your boss understands software development, then the "dangerous" situation of being asked to do "easy" (but actually hard) things disappears, because your boss will understand that the "easy" things are actually hard, and the "hard" things are actually easy.
I agree! This is the case with my boss and its a great work environment
> This works until your boss understands software development
Like that ever happens!
haha! yeah, its rare but my company promotes devs to director positions so it can happen
spoiler: if your boss understands this they 1) are not doing their jobs 2) they will fail hard if they try to push their own thinking on HOW to do things
Interesting. To be clear I'm a developer and my boss is a director of application development. He used to be a dev so he understands these kind of issues.
If my boss was a product owner or a stakeholder I would not want them mandating random details about how I do things.
