Having trouble understanding what value this person brings to a company:

- Actively against writing any production code

- Doesn't want to make decisions (wants to report to another line manager - "absolutely excited about roles reporting to line managers")

- Lacks effort for "upkeep of technical skills"

- "lacks the guts" to request clarity of vague problem parameters

- limited scope. 6.5 years of experience in one domain. (6.5 years isn't nothing but plenty of people have 10-30 years of experience, over multiple areas/domains/industries)
