As a Java developer, what kind of manager do you feel helps you grow the most? 👇

- Tech manager 👨‍💻

Someone who has coded in Java, understands architecture, trade-offs, and can challenge your technical decisions.

- Non-tech manager 🧑‍💼

Focused on vision, stakeholders, politics, and removing organizational blockers so you can stay deep in code.

- It depends 🤷‍.

Context matters: team maturity, company size, your seniority, product complexity… sometimes a mix of both worlds works best.

- No preference 🤔

For you, what matters is the person: trust, clarity, and support, regardless of their technical background.
