I used to mind when I was a permie, but now I just think of my next invoice and smile. Honestly, who cares?

In fact if I look around my immediate area 4 out of 5 people are managers, they hand the tittles out like biscuits. The unfortunate circumstance of this is that some of these guys are really good technical/engineer minded chaps but awful managers.

As someone new to the world of managing others, it's an interesting point. I mean my graphics coder certainly deserves praise from me when he does something we think might be a new technique, and I make a point to pass praise from the client down to him when his work is praised, but I also think I deserve praise.
If you put 10 great coders in a room with a great spec, and leave them, I doubt you'd get much worth praising if you care about deadlines and budgets.
