    I think it also depends on how you structure teams.

    In the companies I worked at and experienced as contractor, product/project teams and HR-relevant teams were two almost separate org charts. That is, the guy who says to me what to do is not the guy who tells me how much money I’ll get for that.

    Lead devs in this sense are “leading” a project or product, so they do have to deal with the day to day bullshit of human interaction, product meetings, etc., but most people wouldn’t call their fellow devs “reports”.
