Sometimes I witness conversations like "We have finished the project X, and our distributed team got some credits/promotions/bonuses for the completion. There is A who got credits too, despite that he/she is an incompetent engineer/not an engineer at all, committed 0/nearly 0 lines of code to the project, and all he/she was doing was just joining telco calls, talking on the meetings a lot, and maybe helping with project logistics."
I think this is nonsense, and I am surprised to hear that. Every complex distributed project needs some ppl like that for survival and success - and who cares if they contribute code/understand the technical details.
Last time I've heard that was a few months ago, and I am glad I do not hear that about the projects I work on. On the contrary, I am always trying to involve and give credits to non-technical/not very technical folks whenever possible.
Dear colleagues, I don't think technical chauvinism (drawing a line between us - engineers who understand and build things and them - project managers, sales and marketing, etc) pays off!
