In both my experience (subjective) and in reason (objective), it is a mistake to have technology staff (e.g. software developers, engineers, architects, testers, etc.) report to non-technical management (e.g. those with no (or no current) hands-on technology experience).
It is far easier for an experienced technologist with a modicum of people skills to learn management, leadership, and business, than for a non-technical business type to become proficient enough in practical, applied technology. The intellectual horsepower needed for the technical exceeds the intellectual horsepower needed for business and management.
From the CTO (or it’s equivalent) on down, those in leadership should have a successful history as hands-on in their technology field, and retain enough hands-on work so as to stay current.
I use these terms because the principal applies beyond software engineering. Do you think Lockheed Skunkworks could have churned out the U-2 and SR-71 if they were not led at the top by an engineer? Can you imagine the outcome if some Ivy League MBA-type had run Skunkworks then instead of Clarence “Kelly” Johnson?

And another example is Admiral Hyman Rickover (an engineer) who created and led the US’ Naval Reactors (aka Naval Nuclear Power) for decades.
Naval nuclear power in the US, and copied by other nations, could never have happened and be so successful and safe had a non-engineering management-type tried to create that program.

I do .
Every month I collect my expenses, fill out an excel file with them, and write myself a reimbursement check. Technically, as a business I have to keep them for 3 years in case the IRS would like to discuss matters. After having my own corp for 15 years it's a complete waste of effort but whatever. And yes, my stapler is red .
A few years back, I looked into s/w to scan receipts, etc. It was more work and $$ than it was worth.

The starter word didn't help, I think - it gave me the wrong impression of "where things were".
Still, it's a win - I'll take it!

But it's Latin, it always throws me off when a word is Latin because we use them a lot in Italian so I discard them without thinking.
