No beef, just plenty of incompetent managers. The further up the food chain you go, the dumber they seem to get. I had a VP of technology a couple of years ago who couldn't figure out how to work a cell phone. I had a director of enterprise systems who couldn't figure out that a 150 mb file couldn't fit on a floppy, no matter how much you explained the math. The list just goes on and on.
A competent manager who is also technologically astute seems to be amazingly difficult to find, especially in the CXO positions. They just seem to lose things like logical thinking.
I have had some very good managers, but they seem to be shunned and pushed out by the typical incompetent manager types.
Prisoner: What are you in for?
Spammer: Uhhh sending spam, what are you in for?
Prisoner: Rape, and I'm really going to enjoy you, since I started using my new pecker enlarger and viagra.
I told them that they can call me at home or at my office phone number, unless they pay for the cell phone. We compromised and they bought me a black berry, and they pay the bill. I like it better than the cell phone, because I'm more productive and can screen the contacts.

I'd say the biggest hurdle would be the obvious frontal lobotomy required as part of the management migration.
Hmm, do you really think there will be coding jobs in the US in 100 years at the rate we're going, or do you assume this will be for folks in india?
