A good manager acknowledges the areas in which others can do a job better and lets them do it. I'm more programmer and DBA than anything else. The intricacies of network communications are largely beyond me and Matt has a much firmer understanding of them than I do. So when it comes to configuring IIS and handling anything that has "IP" as part of its name, I hand that off to him.
I don't even bother to ask him anymore how he fixed a communications issue. Good enough for me that he did so I can get back to my precious ASP.
