The Peter Principle is alive and well, and many folks who shouldn't be
managing people are expected to do so.  Douglas seems to imply, however,
that technologists never make good managers.  Technologists who make good
managers are not plentiful, but those who have the right stuff are great to
work for (e.g., Bill & Dave).  I have worked for managers who have no clue
what I do for a living, and it isn't pretty!  Disclaimer: I have also seen
notable exceptions to the previous statement.
