Why Do Leaders Treat Programmers Like Children?

Does it sometimes feel like the decisions made by leaders are almost trying to get programmers to hate their software development projects? I would often take for granted the things that I knew as a developer and assume that leadership at my company understood them. Because software development is so expensive, and the business schools many CEOs come from are still steeped in tradition, there can be lost trust and mistreatment. If your CEO, Product Manager, or Project Manager doesn’t know these things, disastrous results can occur on your software project that causes people to get angry and eventually leave. In this episode I share 9 truths of software development that if understood by leadership, will help them get along with programmers better at their company.
