Code does not make money by itself. Business does. Code has to work for business. And if programmers can manage business, nothing like it. But someone has to. You can rarely have it both ways, code for fun and make money for the business too. And make no mistake, running a business is as difficult as building software if not more. If we assume that 'non-tech' people do not understand code, we can assume that 'tech' folks do not understand business too. Both of which are not true. Also, such a flaming rant on any other topic would be flagged out to oblivion. HN's predisposition with tech vs nontech is quite apparent.
