Sure, it's fun to trash MBAs, but why does anyone think business is different from hacking? There are tons of crappy MBAs, just like there are tons of crappy programmers. There are elite, valuable MBAs just like elite, valuable hackers. If there was a Hacker News equivalent for MBAs, wouldn't you want one of those guys on your team? The best hackers might be able to do business better than an average MBA, but not nearly as well as the best. I'd take a Phil Knight or someone like that on my team anyday. I'd also take a killer salesman because it would lower the bar for producing highly profitable B2B software.
