Business leadership being technical cannot be overstated. At my current workplace, we’re not allowed to say the word refactor to management as that freaks them out. My current place also has the most spaghetti code that I’ve ever seen in my life with more spaghetti being produced on a daily basis.
We technically have technical leaders, they used to be engineers eons ago but I don’t think any of them could solve first 3 days of advent of code to save their lives.
