I said software, but I don't think I meant programming. I intend to be in some sort of quarterbacking/ management capacity. I think my comparative advantage lies in the intersection between technical work and leadership/social skills. I figured it would be best to learn as much as I can first.
You'll need to do some programming to get any kind of respectable job managing or leadership. Otherwise you are in marketing, and even there if you were any good you would have some technical experience informing your bullshit.
This is true.
I'm sure there's exceptions, but I doubt the market for software developer managers who haven't spent a decent amount of time programming is very large.
