Managers in software with short or no coding history are the worst.

Some of my best managers were non-coders.

I find the worst managers are those who used to code, but they weren't very good and are still bitter about it.

This is what I kind of wanted to say with "short coding history", because usually when someone is not very good at coding tries to switch roles pretty soon.

Not sure this is unpopular, but a good one nonetheless
