"Trust me, the non-technical end user or client is actually happy with that kind of coder's approach! It's only the over smart CTOs, project managers, team leaders, code reviewers, etc. who think of coding only as menial job to be shoved to programmers or LLMs, are never ready to touch the code themselves but still want to micro manage how we do it! Especially Indian or South Asian techies who live in a highly command-control environment will relate to what I'm saying."
"One of the first things I ask during interviews is "Are you going to micro manage how I work?". It's me who will decide which programming language to use, what technology and framework to use, which IDE to use or just code in plain notepad.exe. You just state your requirements and tell me what features you want."
Developers prefer autonomy to choose programming languages, technologies, frameworks, and IDEs or to code in simple editors. Managers should state requirements and desired features rather than dictate tooling or workflows. Non-technical end users and clients generally accept and appreciate developer-led technical choices. Some CTOs, project managers, team leaders, and code reviewers treat coding as a menial task, avoid touching code themselves, and still micromanage implementation details. Command-control workplace cultures, particularly in India and South Asia, intensify managerial oversight and reduce developer freedom. Asking about micromanagement during interviews can clarify whether roles permit such autonomy.
