Dude really was a moron, wasn’t he?

A leading hypothesis is management are fucking stupid. Throw them back into the trenches. Let them do some actual work for a few years

It's easy to tell which managers were promoted from within and which were external hires with no hands on experience.

I don't think hands on experience is necessary, but you need to have a comprehensive understanding of the work being done by people you oversee. That becomes increasingly difficult as your position moves you from the front line, which I think is one reason upper management and executives often seem like aliens compared to the rank and file and lower management.

Throw them back into the trenches.

The problem there is that eventually you don't have trenches any more.

What happens while you’re training that new human?

My managers always had a simple solution to this problem: pretend that new programmers fresh out of college require no on-the-job training at all. Or for bonus points, pretend that they're even better than the guys who have been doing this for decades and pay them more.

He's not the only one. The Neo-Feudalists really think they are the only human species that exists whilst everyone else is a Neanderthal Serf

Nah, new humans aren't trained in this day and age anymore. Managers just say to use AI instead. We can see this with the high unemployment rate of graduates.
