I think IT is one the few professions where if someone can’t make it in the lower ranks, they’re quickly considered for management.

Java = JavaScript

Management, natures way to remove incompetent from production

https://dilbert.com/search_results/...

nah - most of management is a way to remove incompetent people from _any_ profession.

most management is just managers revolving around themselves so they can't do any actual harm, and the good managers exist to keep those productivity-sinkhole-managers from interacting with those people actually doing the work.

I think it applies to many professions.

If you're not great at sports you can become a coach. If you're not a successful artist you can manage a gallery or art class.

"Those who can; do. Those who can't; teach"...and you could subscribe teach with manage.
