I am -1 on this for now.

Objectively speaking, I agree that you're a good candidate for the role as we need an admin that can be more focused on the community side of things, and I do wish you the best of luck in that regard.

However, the way you've gone about this has left a bad taste in my mouth, which makes me, personally, incredibly hesitant to support this -

As you said yourself, you are not familiar with dev work, which is what you, once again, -1'd another candidate for admin on. If you hold others to that standard when it comes to a promotion to admin, I would hope you'd hold yourself to that as well.

The issue that Pluto mentioned above is also concerning, what steps are you willing to take to correct the previous stonewalling in the future? Are you truly willing to put effort into leading the lower-ranked staff members, or are you going to refer them to others again? 

I wouldn't have a big issue with this if it wasn't something you had specifically critiqued someone else on, getting asked a genuine question like that about something you mentioned and then choosing to avoid it is off-putting at best and isn't something that I would want to see from someone who is supposed to lead those beneath them in rank. Especially when you are claiming your willingness to steer others in the right direction as a reason to why you'd be a good fit for a promotion.
