"Are you one of those that only likes to code and not do anything else?" is not soft? I think you've been on the internet too long, always thinking every question is a fight.

Your question is strange. Talking to people about non-nuts-and-bolts things is what I'm considering a soft-skill. (Is this out of step with broader community definitions?)
Being able to do it well is, obviously, desirable. Which brings me to the reason I mentioned the concept. If you were merely trying to find out information with your question, it sucks. It can be seen to make inferences about John's character that a more skilled person would not have done when trying to find out the same info.
Certainly, while it is true that its been about 23 years now since I first hit AltaVista, I'm capable of seeing far more nuance that your comment appears to acknowledge.
I asked you a direct question, yet you've dodged it and instead left another opinion. See how this is going yet?
Your behaviour mimics perfectly that of someone called-out for and embarrassed by poor behaviour.
When taken into consideration with your snarky "Now there's one way to grow as a person. " comment, I'm having an impossible time believing you.

No offense, but now you're just being an idiot.

This is to notify you that someone is sending me stupid forms and signing your name to them.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Learn to delegate, surely you have an officious little worm in your team, dump it on them and just sign off on the forms.

Team Lead, Manager,... whatever, means there's people that report to you right?

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

While I appreciated the thought when I read the book (lo these many, many, MANY moons ago) there are several items in this list I cannot or have not done.
