No wonder that you reported difficulties in managing the
software engineers that worked for you, and that you subsequently
left (HAD to leave? The BRATS all over again?) private industry
to parasitise from the public purse as a teacher.

"Those that can, do.
Those that can't, teach.
Those that can't teach, teach PE.
Those that can't teach PE, join the plods.
Those that can't plod, join the traffic plods.
Those that can't traffic plod, are on sale on the vegetable
rack in Tesco's.".

Plus, of course, programming is not the hard bit- hasn't been for some
time.
The skill lies in the system and software design. These days many packages
can autogenerate code and, with the high uP speeds and low memory costs,
that code is efficient enough to do the job- hand crafting to improve
speed
etc often isn't required, even in real time apps.
