       | For those unfamiliar, I'm referring to the idea that managers can
       | have roles and levels which are separate but equal from the
       | levels that convey technical expertise. If the people who control
       | the team structure don't also have the expertise to maintain an
       | architectural vision for the product system, then the product is
       | doomed to match the slow moving trends of office politics,
       | instead of matching the current thinking of the technical
       | leaders.
