Everything is business oriented think, “if you can able to get both management and programming work done paying 50 to a single person then why to think to hire two people in his place paying more than that”. Inspite of pay you can also save the money that you will invest on resources like providing machine to two people and other incentives. It might looks silly but its true. Now a days organizations thinks in such a way that rather than keeping so much of people lets we have fewer people who are efficient to do multi-tasks.
