No offense, good comment. But the same is true for the Plumber, the Framer, the Project Manager, etc. To a Programmer, the Owner who pushes back on the custome

No offense, good comment. But the same is true for the Plumber, the Framer, the Project Manager, etc.
To a Programmer, the Owner who pushes back on the customer is a good business person.
To a Project Manager, the Owner who squeezes the programmers is a good business person.
To the Customer, the Owner who delivers on time and delivers routine upgrades is a good owner.
To a Manager the Owner who doesn't place unreasonable budgetary constraints and work-load in his/her lap is a good Owner.
I wonder sometimes if Carpenters, Doctors, Lawyers, etc spend as much time talking about this stuff as Programmers do. A short distance removed makes it all seem incredibly self absorbed.

He pointed to the craftsmen repairing the street we were overlooking at that moment and said: "Those guys? They don't make talk a single time about it, but they sure enjoy driving that Caterpillar machine."
