But you need to know how to code to be able to manage the coders 
properly and to achieve decent results.
Plenty of horror stories around the place where non technical types have 
gone and employed outsourced contractors to build web projects and the 
thing has gone south because the client has had NFI of what they are 
doing or even what they are asking for.
You need to be proficient enough to know what needs to be done so you 
can achieve it.
In terms of automation I've been using a lot more of it in recent years, 
but you still need to manually check things as sometimes stuff goes wrong.
Tools like GTMetrics have come in handy as well for checking things like 
the loading times of websites as website speed has become increasingly  
important.
Regards Chad.
