Comments like these make me remember that the tech world is very big and companies come in many different shapes.
I haven’t had non-technical management below the CEO level in many years.
Even stranger was the experience of my company being acquired by a large name-brand tech company. My manager (Director) and their manager (VP) were the worst kind...non-technical and second guessing everything in silly ways. Meanwhile, the co-founder and CTO popped into our tiny office one day because they were in town, rolled up to my desk and said "hey, you're fatnoah, right? I have some questions" and then pulled me into a conference room where we went deep on our entire tech stack. He got everything the first time and understood the how and why of what we built and why.
