>I have to agree that a writer managed by a programmer (or any
>nonwriter) is in for hard times.
My current boss is a programmer and I think she does a fine job. My
previous boss was a writer and I think she did a fine job too. Each
boss gave me a different set of advantages.
You have to treat each new boss as an individual. Look for the
advantages that each one can give you, regardless of background (or
gender, for that matter).
