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.
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.
